Chapter 242

Alice meets me in the parking lot, teasing me as she bears witness to just how difficult it is for me to leave Edward's heated and lustful embrace. Damned blood bond. The workday passes quickly and although I've had much too little sleep, I feel happy and full of energy. When my phone buzzes about an hour before I finish, I almost don't even notice. When I finally take a moment to check my messages, I feel my stomach drop.
Hey Babe! My Mom is going to take you to the car dealership and then the storage unit. I'll meet you there. Something came up that I have to deal with. Will explain later. XO Edward
My eyebrows pinch together and my insecurities immediately begin to rise before I'm able to dismiss them.
