LOGINâCome on,â Lilly murmurs under her breath, gently tugging me toward the room, even though my eyes remain fixed on the scene.I pause as the attendant quietly shuts the door behind us.The suite opens into a sitting room dressed in soft creams, plush sofas, a low marble table, and fresh flowers arran
âWake up, Si⊠weâre here.âLillyâs voice pulls me from sleep. I pry my eyes open to find her hovering over me, a soft smile on her face.Slowly, I sit up, stretching my arms above my head and arching my back to work the knots out of my muscles.âWhat time is it?â I ask, yawning.She checks her phone
I take a careful breath in through my nose and another but it doesnât help. I press my lips together, forcing myself to stay still. I refuse to draw attention. The last thing I want is Noah noticing me falling apart like some fragile mess. I adjust again, wiping my palm discreetly against my thigh.
Itâs been about two hours, and already I want to jump out of this damn jet. The tension in here is so thick I could cut it with a knife.What the hell was Lilly thinking?Sure, staying in the same house with Noah was manageable but only because his place is massive and we can avoid each other. Here?
Noah stands beside Lilly in a fitted black V-neck that shows off his biceps, paired with black jeans and black boots. If I still liked him, Iâd admit he looks good... But I donât like him anymore, so it doesnât matter.Lilly, on the other hand, is dressed in cotton shorts, looking relaxed and effort
I know my mom; sheâll be furious that Noah is the father given the shit he put me through, and even more furious that he doesnât want to be part of the babyâs life.Thereâs silence on the other end of the line before she finally speaks.âFine,â she says. âYouâd better get your ass over here the mome
