Chapter 56 “A Few More Hours”

• Ren’s [POV]
• Just another day at work in the basement, folding clothes, and I was fine, I told myself, hoping it was true. In reality, I wasn’t fine, and it wasn’t only because I was pissed at Caleb. Oh no, I had other fish to fry on top of my emotional stewing, and thinking about Caleb only made this particular problem worse.
• “A few more hours.” I gasped, my head splitting, my body aching and so hot, I felt like I was burning up from the inside out.
