章節 40: Chapter 40

Skylar's POV

When I woke up, Caden wasn't there.

Everything was right where I had left it last night, even Chicken was still asleep. The only change around me was his absence - which for some reason was quite obvious- and for a second, it felt like he wasn't even here last night.

As I gazed around the empty house, trying to rub off the sleep from my face, I saw that the wooden box was right where I had left it yesterday; in front of me at the table.

I slumped back against the couch and rubbed my eyes this time.

Well, there's that; trust. Caden could've taken that box with him, but he hadn't.

The bright sunlight coming through the glass windows made me break out of my thoughts. I was a bit glad that it wasn't nighttime anymore. I was glad that the power was back.
