Chapter 109 Be Mine?

The sight of men parading outside his home, some posted by the apartment door, others stationed in a van across the street, unnerved him. He wasn't used to this level of surveillance, this constant reminder that his life had changed. Britney, sitting beside him, scrolling through her phone after a long day, seemed unfazed. She had already adapted, looking as if she’d been accustomed to this level of attention for a long time.
• With a quiet sigh, Brandon let the curtain fall back into place and moved to sit next to her. "How was school? How did you manage with security trailing behind you all day?"
• Britney barely glanced up, her fingers still tapping at her phone. "Easy-peasy. Everyone stared. People talked. I didn’t care. Got through my day like it was any other."
