Chapter 58: Dark Omen

"I'm not going to judge. I bet it was a whole lot better than what I was doing," Charlotte assured with a smile.

"I've always wondered what college was like. Honestly, I even wondered what it was like to work," Charlotte imagined, leaning her elbows on the table as she swayed.
