JAYDEN ALEXANDER
Rosaleigh.
The sound was so familiar like music to my ears. Inadvertently I stayed near the door to hear more of the sweet melody.
But to my dismay, the surrounding had grown silent as if the two parties were disclosing a secret. Gracelyn being the loud one.
My urge to barge in was at its peak when suddenly my phone rung. The caller Id 'Victor' glared at me like Victor's eyes did in real life. Moving into the confines of my room, I answered him.
"Got to know about our trip Jayden" His coarse yet authorative voice rang out of the speaker.
"Looking forward to meet your cousin huh?" I chuckled.&nbs
