Chapter 127 I try to think, but nothing makes sense. Emma was back? How the hell was that even possible? When she left, she’d sworn never to come back. Mother, Father, and Travis used to visit her, but she never came home. Not even for the holidays. In fact, my family used to go and spend Christm
We hadn’t even noticed that he’d joined the room. He was leaning against the doorframe with his hands folded across his chest, which made his bicep bulge. He had a white V-neck t-shirt and black jeans. His hair was still wet and he was bare feet. “You mean like a cow or those other animals I watch
