Chapter 529
A smile lugged at my lips as I turned away.
“Is there any dinner left: Im starving. Is Roc in? I should tell him his car’s in perfect condition.”

“So you won’t come for Thanksgiving? Huh? Why not stay there for Christmas and New Year too!”
I swallowed and kept moving, slowing instinctively outside Viviana’s door to check if she was in. She wasn’t and relief washed over me as I rolled my eyes in private peace.
I reached Roc’s room and knocked gently. No answer, only the sound of running water.
