Chapter 47 Not When You That Beautiful

• Christian
• As I stepped out of the house, I didn’t even bother calling Derrick to drive me like I usually did. I wasn’t in the mood for company or small talk. I just wanted to clear my head and maybe see the only two people who seemed to bring me peace lately—my mother and Sophia. So, I got in the car and drove myself out, hands firm on the steering wheel, mind already racing ahead of me.
• As I pulled onto the road, I let out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding. Today had been one hell of a day, and if I stayed in that house a minute longer, I might have broken something—or someone. My eyes never left the road, but my thoughts? They were far gone, consumed with the idea of surprising Sophia. She had no clue I was coming, and honestly, the thought of seeing her face light up when I walked in made a smile tug at my lips before I could stop it.
