Chapter 159 A Glimpse Of Tomorrow

• DRAKE
• Moving quietly around the kitchen, a smile spreads across my face as I keep glancing at the bedroom door, waiting for Briana to wake up. Last night had been wonderful—seeing Jack and Carson again brought back so many memories—but I couldn’t help the worry that built in my chest when Briana went off with Ash and Royce alone. I’d stayed beside my god-brother, pretending to be relaxed while silently counting the minutes until she came back.
• When she finally returned, there was something heavy in her eyes, though she brushed it off when I asked. Royce had been right beside her, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd like a guard dog. I knew the two of them had grown close as friends, and it made me glad he was there to protect her when I couldn’t. Still, the way he refused to leave her side unsettled me more than I wanted to admit.
