Chapter 242

• “I’m home!” I walked through the foyer hallway and into the kitchen and found Malachi sitting at the table. I felt antsy and opened the fridge. “Where’s Adara?”
• “She went to the store, something about cooking your last meal.” I turned around sharply as I looked at him and he burst out laughing. For once in my life I was completely speechless.
