Chapter 117 Don't Let Her Go

• I sat on a barstool at the kitchen island and watched my aunt, Annika organize everything. I felt like a kid again. It wasn't a good feeling on top of the chasm of loneliness in my chest.
• "Your uncle told me, you haven't been at work this week", Annika's tone was neutral as she set the water to boil on the stove.
• "I'm allowed to use my hard - earned vacation days, aren't I?", Instantly I cringed at the snip in my short words. Annika didn't deserve it. I was taking out my anger on her.
