Chapter 15
Grace
Just tell me whatâs really going on between you and that animal youâre so intent on flaunting in my face.
I sigh down at my phone, watching with an absent, defeated stare as yet another message comes through from Brad, despite the fact that I stopped replying to him days ago.
I saw you with him last week. Heâs not even human, Gracie. I know youâre just doing this to get back at me. Youâre being immature.
I flop back on the couch, my laptop forgotten on the coffee table. I need to start on a new website soon, and I was trying to do a bit more research on places to live while I still had the time. I honestly donât even know if I want to go back home, start fresh here in Whispering Pines away from Bradâs usual stomping grounds, or even try somewhere else entirely. But with the way Bradâs been blowing up my phone lately, I canât seem to concentrate on anything at all.
My phone vibrates in my hand again, and I tap it to silent with a glare and throw it across the couch, wincing when it bounces off a pillow and onto the rug on the floor, where I see it silently flashing with yet another message.
I just need a break. Iâll get out of the house, reset my brain, and then Iâll be able to ignore him better and get on with it. Maybe Iâll even start my work ahead of schedule, since apartment-hunting isnât going very well for me.
The doorbell rings, and I leap off the couch with a burst of energy. Distraction. Yes.
Thatâll be Ella with Lucas. He started going to Gossamer Wings Daycare along with Rylah and Rowan this week, to get him back into a schedule, and weâve been taking alternating shifts over who picks the kids up in the afternoons. I open the door, ready to beg my sister to take a quick walk with me at Heartwood Grove, but I come face to face with Rhokar instead.
âOh, hey Rho,â I say, deflating. Damn, I really wanted to vent, and my sisterâs the best ear I know.
âDonât look so happy to see me,â Rhokar gruffs with a half-smile, as he nudges Lucas through the door. âEllaâs working late today, so Iâm back on pick-up duty.â
âHey, baby,â I greet Lucas, as I bend to lay a fat kiss on his cheek.
âHey, mamma!â
I squish him to my side and eye the orc before me once more. âYou wouldnât happen to want to join us for little walk in the park before dinner, would you?â
âYay! Park!â Lucas races inside to get his park shoes, even as Rho shakes his head.
âSorry.â He shrugs, glancing back at the car. âRy has that face on right now that tells me if I donât get dinner in her in the next thirty minutes, youâre going to be hearing her wails from here.â
I sigh forlornly. âAlright, thatâs fair.â
As Rho heads home I get Lucas and myself ready for the park anyway, figuring I can grab a few groceries on the way home.
