Chapter 27: Dreams of Love

DESMOND'S APARTMENT

POV DESMOND

I had gone straight home after the airport. I hadn't felt like going to pick up Hades since it was still the middle of the night. When I got home, I noticed that Nathaniel had left his bag in my car. I left it in there and slammed the door shut.

When I got back up to my apartment, I took everything off besides my underwear and crawled into bed. I started having dreams of being back in my uncle's home when I was little. It was one of my repeating dreams. Although it was more like a nightmare.

It was the first time my uncle had me stand by the fire when I wasn't able to repeat every European country and its capital. I was only eleven at the time. I couldn't stop crying as my uncle continued to yell at me.
