Avery’s pov
“What are you doing?” Xaden asked once he spotted me in the living room area, shifting through the boxes so I could pack up.
“Trying to help with putting things where they should be. I want him to be surprised when he gets home.” I mumble as I open the box and begin to remove the sofa pillows.

Xaden look at me silently with pity and I had to look away. “You just got out of the hospital not too long ago Avery. Maybe you should rest.
I snorted. “Rest? Don’t you think I had enough rest?” I asked sarcastically. “I need to get the house ready for when he comes back.”
Xaden grumbles something under his breath and walks to the kitchen area. “I’ll start up dinner. Is there anything you specifically want?”
I looked up from the box.

Her voice trembles as Xaden hugs her back. but I can’t pick up on the was clearly enough to know what she was crying about. But the ache

Kaden tells her something and she pulls away, I don’t miss the way Xaden had gotten more tensed by what she had crie im abc am on edge, itching to know more. But I had a feeling they wouldnt tell me a thing.
She cups his face, her eyes flowing oddly before she turns to face me. She steps away from Xaden and smiles at me warmly, yet her eyes showcased the trouble in her soul.
“Avery dear.” she moves to come over and I drop the cushion pillow on the sofa to hug her when she reaches me. Her embrace is warm and comforting but I can feel the tension in her body.

“Eloise.” I said softly as she kissed my cheek. She had always been a second mother to me. She gave me a good squeeze.
“I’m so sorry this happened to you my darling.” she breathed. squeezing me one more before pulling away. “I promise that boy will

She hugged me agam and then looked around the place, her brows
