LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” 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. She’d 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

“Are you sure about what you’re doing, Ava?” Letty asks me in concern. I was getting ready to go to Noah’s school. Today was the parent/ teacher meeting that was held annually and I was supposed to meet Rowan there. Letty had called to know if we could hang out since we haven’t seen each other in
