Chapter 57: Betrayal

*LYCIA*

When I stepped down I had honestly been blank as to whom I would find waiting for me downstairs but I had to say I had been immensely shocked when I was met with familiar blue eyes. For a second they had made my heart skip a beat.

But they weren’t the ones I wanted to see.

His brown hair was cleanly set in place unlike how he usually wore it and dressed in a pristine white shirt Travis sat on the long couch looking at me with a smile.

My mother and his, sat on single sofa chairs adjacent to it. They had stopped their quiet conversation when I stepped in.

“Oh she is here,” Mom said beckoning me with her eyes to step inside the room, “Go on and sit down.”

Something was wrong with this setting, I could feel it but I didn’t want to make a scene until I had been sure. I therefore tried to calm my anxious heart as I avoided eye contact with Travis and sat next to him. It’s not that I was scared or embarrassed to see him again but honestly he was just a nuisance to me at this point.
