Your Love Is But a Dream

Chapter 14

After breakfast, Wren sat on the couch downstairs, waiting for Clara to return. As time passed, and she still hadn't shown up, his confidence began to waver. Restlessness settled in. The longer he waited, the more unbearable each passing second felt.

By late morning, Wren had had enough. He pulled out his phone and opened an app to track Clara's location.

He had installed the tracking app after that school trip incident, fearing something similar might happen again. If Clara ever ran into trouble, he needed to find her immediately.

A few taps later, her location appeared-still within the city. Wren let out a breath of relief. Just as he was about to zoom in for details, footsteps approached from behind. "Wren, if we don't leave now, we'll miss the flight. Are you coming or not?"

Ivy had already reminded him three times. Each time, Wren said he had something to take care of. Yet, every time she came downstairs, he was just sitting there on the couch. It didn't seem like he was busy. It felt like he was waiting for someone. A thought crossed Ivy's mind. Could Wren be waiting for Clara?
