POISON ADAM'S APPLE

KATRINA

It was late when I returned to the kids’ room. I thought I forgot my phone there. I haven’t been using it like normal wolves or ‘people’ but you can’t blame me because I never had one until I left Southpaw. But yes, Kendra did.

And even when I was in Seattle, I only used it for communication because Carissa insisted. In the middle of the night, while trying to sleep I thought of trying Carissa’s number for the last time. If it didn’t work, I’d go to Henry’s room and drag it out of him.

‘So your lie turned out to be true?’ Melora said, chuckling.

‘I hope it is.’

Henry’s not that dumb. He would remember something.

When I reached their room, I pinched myself because I remembered that I never brought it here in the first place.

‘F*ck, my life is a lie.’

Heatedly, I left the room but the handle of the door grabbed my pajamas. I tried wearing something other than nightdresses, hoping it would help me sleep.
