Chương 81: The Great Escape

Amara sat at the table, staring at the perfectly arranged meal her father had brought in. It looked like something out of a gourmet magazine pristine slices of grilled fish, artfully drizzled sauces, and a salad that probably cost more than her monthly rent back in her past life.

If the ground had decided to swallow her whole at that moment, she wouldn't have complained.
