Sabrina’s POV
I’m nervous walking into the EarthX building. I haven’t been here for a week, and yet, it already feels foreign to me. My heart is pounding in my chest at the thought of seeing Atlas again. The pain from the last time I saw him is still raw and I’m worried I’ve made the wrong decision by coming here.
I walk out of the elevator and take a deep breath when I see the door to Atlas’s office is wide open. With my eyes on the floor, I lean against the door and wrap my knuckles against it, announcing my arrival.
“Come in,” Atlas’s voice is raspy and quiet.
When I look up, I’m shocked at the sight of him. His eyes are dull and sunken in with dark circles present. He’s dressed in sweatpants; a plain black t-shirt and his hair looks like a bird’s nest. He looks pale and sad, and my heart breaks a little bit for him.
I know he’s the one who brought this on himself, but I still love him, and I hate seeing him this way.
