Chapter 106: BURSTING WITH PRIDE: VALERIE

The short flight to Iowa was over before we'd even gotten comfortable in our seats. My heart was pounding wildly as I switched my phone on, and heard what sounded like a flock of birds gathering in my pocket as a ton of messages came in.

"What the fuck, Valerie? Who is messaging you?"

I glanced at my phone, and the first four were from Kayden, "What can I say? My brother's excited I'm coming home," I smirked, thankful for Kayden's ID that flashed for the first four texts on the screen when Flynn glanced over my shoulder. As my excitement built on the way home, I had a hard time concentrating on what Flynn was talking about.

"Whoa, what's with the gates?" he asked when he saw the new security feature I knew the studio would need.
