Chapter 122

Talia’s POV

Talia was curled up on the couch in the penthouse, half-watching some reality show on TV while scrolling through her phone. It was early evening, the sky outside turning that soft purple color that came just before sunset.

Her phone buzzed with a text from Kaelen.

Kaelen: Board meeting running late. Probably won’t be home until 8 or 9. Sorry.

Talia: It’s okay. Be safe.

Kaelen: I will.
