Semua Bab Between two hearts : Bab 21 - Bab 27

LORRAINE: My heart beating extremely fast as I run another mile down the road, I try to keep my breath as calm as possible and my thoughts in check, but questions keep bombarding my head even with Celine Dion playing loudly in my head. What was the connection between Ava and Matteo that she couldn't even tell me? She kept avoiding the question and ever since she's been acting so mysterious. I stop in my tracks and fall to the floor, my legs were already giving out…I needed to catch my breath. Slowly I walked into my apartment, sweat trickling down my skin, my breathing still uneven. I fall into my couch and just like muscle memory I touch my necklace again, I miss my father too damn much. A knock on my door draws out a groan from me, “Coming” I take off my shoes and open the door, “come in” I say softly with a smile on my face. “I'm surprised you don't have a gym in your house honestly” Dexter says as he enters my house with two shopping bags, “breakfast and brunch, you're wel

DEXTER: I drive in anger back to my house, my hands gripping the wheel, turning my knuckles white. Of course I would do anything for Lorraine, what bubble is he talking about? **Flashback**I didn't sleep a wink, I stayed up all night researching, cutting out pictures, my eyes were dropping with sleep but I stare at my presentation on cancer awareness, everything well detailed to the end.

MATTEO:My phone beeps with a message, a message from Dexter, I read it over and over again trying to understand why he wants to see me and how he even has my number. I groan and pick up my car keys. I was going to give him a piece of my mind. Annoyingly I knock on Dexter's door, I hear him groan. “Come in” I open the door, step in and see him..swollen eyes, messy office with files everywhere and it reeked of alcohol, “De..what the hell happened?” I look around trying to understand what happened.He chuckles a little, “if it isn't my dear cousin, welcome welcome” he staggers to his feet, “sit please” he sniffles and pours himself another drink, “to what do I owe this pleasure?”His shoulders drop in defeat, his eyes were swollen like he hadn't slept in days, “when…how long have you been here?”He takes a deep breath in and falls into his chair, “just the night” he chuckles, “don't tell anyone” he shushes me.I sigh, “come on I'm taking you home, you look like shit” I stand up. “You
