When His Eyes Opened (full chapter)

Chapter 136

Avery and Elliot went home in the afternoon to rest because they planned on staying up to ring in the new year.

Once Elliot was asleep, Avery opened her eyes and stared at his face.

When Elliot woke up around four in the afternoon, Avery was not next to him.

He got out of bed and went downstairs to look for her.

Avery was in the middle of making dinner.

“I’m thinking of making steak tonight. What do you think?”

Elliot stood at the entrance to the kitchen and watched as she worked away.

“How about I make dinner?” he asked.
