Sierra.âUhm⌠hello?â I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. Sheâd told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare

I watch my lawyer nervously as he goes through the business proposal Corrine sent me. I have to hand it to her. The woman worked fast. It hasnât even been a day since we discussed the idea and already she had the proposal ready. It was either that or she had already worked on it beforehand and she
We didnât talk after that. Lunch was downright awkward as we both ate silently. My mind was reeling from his apology. I donât know what he was expecting from me, but I sure hope it was not forgiveness. Not now at least.After finishing our lunch he took me back home. The drive was also quiet. Both o
âAva can we please talk?â mother pleads when I move to leave. I stare at her, not sure what she wanted. What was there to talk about?
