CHAPTER 12 Mrs. Almost Thornton

  Mia

  New York

  As we continued our journey toward my new, albeit temporary, refuge at Sebastian's apartment, I took out my phone and quickly texted Bella, informing her of my unexpected change in plans.

  Her response came promptly, as I expected, and it carried her signature lightheartedness: "Alrighty, Mrs. Almost Thornton."

  I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her jest. Bella had always been one to find humor in the most unconventional situations, a trait that now provided a touch of levity to my current predicament.

  However, as the car carried us closer to Sebastian's apartment, my mind began to race with thoughts of my parents. I couldn't help but mentally prepare myself for the drama that was sure to unfold. Their disappointment and disapproval weighed heavily on my mind.

  Suddenly, another concern surfaced. "I don't have any clothes or a toothbrush," I blurted out to Sebastian, realizing that I hadn't planned for an overnight stay.
