389 Chapter 389

I slept well that night, despite the research I'd done regarding my newest scheme. Brandon and I hadn't chatted for long because he was still trying to convince his dad to let him go through with the procedure. I knew Elliott would cave, so when I woke up to a message that Brandon would meet me at 7:30 to walk over to the facility to get it done, I wasn't surprised at all.

My mom was dusting again when I came out of the bathroom, towel drying my hair. I wondered if we should buy stock in Pledge. "Good morning, honey. You're up awfully early."

"Yeah, no training today," I replied. "Aurora is having her procedure done. So is Brandon."

"Oh." I was surprised my sister hadn't mentioned any of this to my parents. "Are you going over there, then?"

"If that's all right," I replied, thinking it wouldn't hurt to be polite. I was still upset at her, but considering what I was about to do, I may as well be nice now. She'd want to kill me later.
