CHAPTER 30

KADEN’S P.O.V

I have never once been more grateful for the fact that Amelia is nervous around me than I have been today. Usually I hate her nervousness and I want her to be free around me but if she was then she would have noticed how many times I slipped up today. From the moment I picked her up at school, it was a battle not to haul her into her arms. When Lucy arrived and messed everything up, I was so frustrated and angry.

I was furious at my mother for setting things up with Lucy and I was even more furious that Lucy was now living at my house and there was nothing I could do about it. My anger at Lucy couldn’t stay at the surface for long because Amelia was like a magnet. She was my kryptonite and she managed to drag my attention no matter how far in my thoughts I was buried. Her silence was loud and her words were even louder.
