chapter 972

"I'm safe, Avery." Elliot's deep voice came through the phone. "About this morning—"

"Let's talk when we meet." Avery's voice was trembling uncontrollably. "It's a good thing you're alright. You almost scared me to death, Elliot."

Elliot heard the hurt in her voice and said, " Everything's alright now. I'm coming to see you now."

After the call ended, Avery lifted her hand and wiped her tears away.
