Kapitel 425: Comfort Food

By the time the Hale twins made it back to their apartment, the only one awake was their dad. He looked tired but asked them about how the dance was like he normally would.

Kaleb had a lot to say, jabbering on about how much fun he had with Vanessa but Violet simply said it was fine. Prom, unfortunately, hadn't been anything special.

Once Aaron had thoroughly listened to everything they had to say, he excused himself to go to bed. Something definitely felt off but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Her answer came the following morning when Nathan whispered that Grandpa had passed away last night while they were gone.

No wonder the house had been so quiet when they came back! Violet's heart was torn in two. She hadn't been able to say goodbye to her grandpa because she went to a stupid dance she didn't even have fun at. She would never be able to take that back.
