Why are you leaving me?

“That would be nice.”Audrey replied.

​ “There is a good spot close to you. I’m at the studio now. I’ll pick you up in a few minutes.”Damian texted back.

​ “No that’s okay. If it’s close, I’ll walk. I need the air.”

​ “Are you sure?”

​ “Positive. I’ll meet you there.”

​ Damian sent her the name of the bar, and it was right down the street from her. A five-minute walk tops. As she walked towards the bar, her mind wandered in every direction except the one she wanted it to.

All she wanted was to get Lucien out of her mind, and he just wouldn’t leave. Would she be able to run from him forever? Eventually, they would have to hash this out.

​ Damian was waiting for outside when she arrived.

​ “Are you all right? He asked when he saw her. “You look troubled.”

​ “I feel troubled,” Audrey admitted. “I checked my dad out of the hospital, and moved us into the apartment without telling Lucien.”

​ “I thought he knew,” Damian said as he escorted Audrey inside.

​ “If he did, he’d never let me go.”
