Chapter 8 What Excuses

• Avery woke up feeling refreshed and grateful that it was the weekend, which meant she didn't have to face Maxwell's scowl after everything that had transpired between them.
• The first thing she did was pick up her phone from the nightstand, and to her utmost surprise, she found a series of unanswered calls from Evan.
• As she recalled last night's events, after she'd cried her eyes out, she had wanted to wait for Evan to return but instead had fallen asleep. Staring at her phone, wondering if he was going to be mad at her, she decided to go apologize to him before he left for work.
