Chapter 39

                            Sutton Price

Sutton sat at the desk in her bedroom with her laptop and tried to arrange her lesson guide for the coming week. Her wedding plans have been in progress for a while and it caused her to backslide in her school work. This weekend was supposed to be the time she would use to catch up, but Brin would not allow that plan to flourish.

She wasn't really in the mood for Brin's overzealousness and so she was trying her best to ignore Brin and focus on the task ahead. But ignoring Brin was a harder task.
