And then... he walked down the hall with a smile on his face.
Preparing to make her his...
... Until a nightmare woke him up.
The kind of nightmare where he was on his knees on a long stretch of asphalt as he watched in horror as her vehicle went up in flames.
Fuck.
They say dreams show you the future.
No way in hell was he going to make her his only to lose her too soon.

Chapter 6
Lila
I yawned as I walked into my office.
I knew why I was so tired even after sleeping almost twelve hours last night.
It was time.
Time to talk to the doctor and see if a change in my meds might help.

I yawned again as I shut off my computer, then checked the time.
And seeing that it was five fifteen, I felt a smile pull at my lips.
Then I headed to the bathroom on my floor and changed my clothes.
I dressed comfortably for tonight.
It was going to be a long evening.
But so worth it.
Because today was the big day.
Yes, almost every Thursday, because it was in the fall, while the kids were in high school was a big day.
But what made today the big day was that it was the annual football game of girls versus boys.
I had been getting texts from both Cole and Madalyn about the trash-talking that was taking place at their school.
And I had to Google what some of the phrases meant.
Like....
67.
Bet.
