October 31st
After dragging the boys back to the car, Allison dropped me home.
A few hours later, I was standing on the piano again.
"Arms up," Leo said before slipping the dress over my head trying not to ruin my hair.
"Didn't know you could dance," I said once the dance floor had filled with other couples and there wasn't as much attention on us."There are still a lot of things you don't know about me," Leo said in response. "Come with me, there are some people you need to meet."I nodded my head and followed him through the splitting crowd.Eventu
As we danced, I spotted Max over Leo's shoulder, leaning against one of the huge pillars on the edge of the hall. He was glaring directly at me. Absolutely furious. I opened my mouth to say something to Leo but he raised his eyebrow, before mouthing something at me like 'I wouldn't if I were you'.

Maddison was a lot of work but now that you so kindly got her off my plate, I'll have to find something new-""I don't care," I said.
November 2ndThe next morning I woke to Max thrashing on the door. I snuggled further underneath the covers with no intention of letting him in."I know you are awake so open the fucking door!" Max shouted."No thanks!"
November 2ndI sat upright on the sofa, my hand on my stomach. Leo was in the kitchen cooking but the last thing I can imagine doing right is eating. My stomach was far too full of nerves."You should try eating something," Leo said, placing a plate of garlic bread and meatballs in front of me, "You need your strength."I sh
November 2ndMaria's face turned a paled at she lowered the phone and looked up at Leo."Sherbet Lemon," She whispered back to herself, "Leo you have to go to Ayas immediately.""Maria, what does it mean?" Rosa asked.
