Chapter 59: Home sweet home.

Two days of travel was enough to make anyone dizzy and exhausted. By the time Sloan got off the plane to meet Elijah, he could barely keep his eyes open and stay upright. Everything he ate made him feel full to bursting, and he’d only finally settled his stomach by eating raspberry smoothies.

“That sounds about right.”

“And we got evicted.”

“Of course we did.”
