Chapter Fifteen

Ava

I tapped my fingers on the table and debated whether I should be worried or angry that Ethan wasn’t coming home. I couldn’t be angry with him. He had been very clear his family was going to want to talk to him. I suspected he was going to them in order to protect me. He wouldn’t put me in the line of fire, which I appreciated.

But it also worried me. What if they got him alone and convinced him to dump me? I dismissed the thought. I had to trust him. He had given me no reason not to trust him after coming clean about everything. I wasn’t dependent on him. I could be alone.

“It’s just you and me, Roxy,” I said from the table.

The day had been okay, but I was a little bored. It probably wouldn’t have been so bad if I hadn’t been laid up for the last couple of weeks. I ordered room service and told myself to be content with what I had. It wasn’t like I was left with nothing and starving to death. Truth be told, I missed him. I had gotten a little used to spending all my time with him. We’d been pretty much glued at the hip the last week.

A little time apart was a good thing. I had enjoyed a long soak in the huge tub and browsed the Internet. I made it a point to avoid reading anything about me or Ethan. I did cave in and read a little about my sister. The stories that were told were disappointing. There were hundreds of pictures of Jenny. Most of the pictures were of her out clubbing. It was clear she was on drugs or drunk in most of them. Some of the pictures were stolen from her social media or from clout chasers wanting to be seen with her. I was sad for her. She had gone down such a dark road. I wished there was a way to help her, but I just didn’t see how that was possible.

After enjoying my dinner with Roxy getting some bits of it, I couldn’t take it any longer. I had to get out of the penthouse. It was my proverbial gilded cage. But it was still a cage. “Roxy, let’s go for a walk,” I announced.

I pulled on my coat and wrapped a scarf around my neck with a beanie hat pulled low. I hoped it was enough to disguise myself. I walked through the lobby without looking at anyone. It was cold and dark outside. And the smells from earlier in the morning were gone. It was nothing but the usual chaos. Honking horns, sirens, and noise in general. A cold breeze blew over us. I was glad for my disguise. It served dual purposes.

We walked along the busy sidewalk, getting jostled in the hustle and bustle. After a short walk and enough time for Roxy to handle business, I was actually anxious to get back to my refuge.
