Chapter 12

I paced the floor of the living room contemplating what tasks I had left to complete around the house.

I was alone at home again because Kerrick was at work, so I tried my best to pass time preoccupying myself with something to do. I already did everything I needed to for the morning because it was only two of us so there wasn't much, to begin with.

Three weeks went by since I was in this house, but it still felt strange being here.

It didn't feel like my home but Kerrick's, so I always felt like I was intruding in his personal space whenever he was around and I was just a stranger here.

I missed my home with my father. I missed the curtains, the carpets, the floors - everything I longed for back at my old house.

What was worst of all was the fact I had no one to talk to.

Kerrick mentioned earlier that we didn't have any neighbors. From what he knew, they were business people who traveled frequently so they were never around.

I missed gossiping and interacting with everyone around me
