บท 126: Chapter 126

Lexi

When I woke up in the morning, I was disappointed to open my eyes and find myself back in my apartment. I would have been back at Carlton's penthouse, if only school hadn't opened up again. I couldn't put it off. Thankfully, though, because his dad was doing well enough, between him and his mom, they could handle taking care of Sam.

I still wish I was there.

There was nothing I could do, though. I slipped out of bed and went to take a quick shower then got changed. I picked up my phone to check out my schedule for the day. I had enough time to catch breakfast before my first class of the day, and I headed out. I'd been back for a few days already, and I hadn't talked to Carlton much in that time. He was busy with his family, and I could hear the stress in his voice when we did talk, so I didn't want to bother him.

I was bothered, though.

"Lexi!"
