Chapter 63: Angela pov

It's been a week since I asked Grant for space and since John and Beth revealed who my parents were and who I would've been. I’ve been struggling with it so much that the longer I wait the harder it is becoming to say anything.

I should’ve told Grant about it the night he turned up with that beautiful purple and red bouquet. I was so overwhelmed by his declaration that I forgot about everything else that was playing on my mind.

Unfortunately, two days later he phoned to inform me that he was having to travel for business and would be gone for five days.

Today makes day four and although I have assured him each time, he phones me that I am alright, I have been afraid to be alone here in my flat. Anytime I hear someone in the hall I become jumpy and nervous.

Jack and Anya have both been checking in as well, but it hasn’t helped. To try and take my mind off of it I have been trying to focus on my online degree, thankfull
