Chapter 29
- AURORA’S POV:
- The warmth of Loni’s home wraps around me like a blanket fresh out of the dryer. It smells like cinnamon and old wood- comforting, grounding. My heart is thudding in my chest like it wants to escape, but I force myself to sit, to breathe.
- Loni leads me into the living room. “Sit, darling. Make yourself comfortable,” she says gently, her eyes still flicking over me like she’s seeing a ghost.
