Chapter 172
- Stacy’s POV
- I strain my ears, trying to pick up any sound that might indicate someone is coming. The silence is deafening, and I'm starting to lose hope. Ella is still beside me sleeping in the most uncommon position.
- Suddenly, I hear a faint noise. Footsteps. Light, cautious footsteps. My heart skips a beat as I try to locate the source of the sound.
