Yes, I’m indeed here again. How are you doing?” I ask her, resolving not to let her hostility get to me. She has every reason to be hosti

Christina got home to an even more somber atmosphere than the one that she had left behind earlier that day. Mr Carter was seated in Austin's living room, looking much older than he had ever looked, and Austin was sitting beside him. “Hey guys… What’s going on?” Christina asked, her heart pounding
It felt like it had been hours since Sean first started talking about his past and it actually was, because now, as Sally looked outside, she saw that it was quite dark outside.
