Fallout Day The Bombs Fell Novels & Stories

Chapter 8 – The Weight of Tension Elena’s morning started like any other—alarm at six, a quick shower, and her usual routine of strong coffee and a hurried glance over her emails.

Bella's POV Public display of affection. I repeated in my heard, trying to figure this man out but as always I reached a dead end. Leo did not leave my side until I decided to wear the slides that he had brought, to my dismay.
