Chapter 77 Love Confession

• Carol’s POV
• Fiona gasps from my drunken love confession on the phone and Aiden goes completely silent. The suspense is killing me, and I can practically hear my heart beating from how quiet it is. For a second, I think maybe the line got disconnected but when I glance at the screen, I see that the time was still ticking forward.
• Just before I’m about to ask if he has heard me, he says, “I’m coming to pick you up.” Then the line goes completely dead.
