"All of those sound nice, but I simply don't have the time." "You just don't want to make time." She only shrugged and I groaned, and prayed for patience, "Ember-" "Where is Kate?" "Excuse me?" "Where is Kate? How come she's giving you all of this free time to chase after me?" I blinked and ra
EMBER’s POV“I guess this is my stop,” I said when we arrived at my gate and turned to him, and he smiled,“I guess. Send my regards to Axel. It’s been a while since we had a guy’s day out. I’ll do my best to make time for more soon enough.”I nodded but didn’t try to leave the car, instead, I star
