Book 1 : Chapter 34 'Cuz'

November 1st

The next morning I woke in Leo's arms. He was just sitting up before he sauntered without a word into the bathroom.

A long steamy shower later, he returned drying his hair with a towel.

"I'll take you to help Lia pack," he said.

I nodded.

So he'd woken up far less angry. This was good.

At 10 am, Leo dropped me off before heading to the base to get some work done.

"Ella! We've been waiting for you so now we can start packing!" Allison said, pulling me upstairs to Lia's room where all her sisters were.

"She's here!" Lia exclaimed.

"So how long are you planning on staying?" Elena asked.

"2 weeks at most," Lia said. "But I want to take some things to leave there so I don't have to take it all again next time."

"And what time is Haden arriving?" Bella asked.

"In an hour and a half."

"Better get a hurry on then," Maria said.
