COUNTDOWN TO LEAVING YOU, ALPHA
“Is there anything else you’d like to bring, Alessia? If you’re all set, we can leave.”
I asked quietly, “Did you bring the new phone I requested?”
“Yes,” she said, pulling the box from the car. “Here it is.”
That was all I needed. I tossed my old phone aside without a second thought.
Before sliding into the car, I stole one last look at the Packhouse, its lights flickering faintly in the distance—the place that had been my home, my love, my heartbreak.
Goodbye, Max.
Then I stepped into Riley’s car, closing the door behind me.
