Chapter 21

Though Alex loved her parents dearly, after visiting with them for nearly a week she was ready to return home. She missed Peter something fierce, and no amount of the warm Floridian sun could compare to being with him.

Though, she did feel a bit guilty about the bombshell she'd dropped on her mom and dad right before she left. Unable to cope with the secrecy any longer, she'd come clean with them and stopped hiding the trouble she'd been having at home regarding the break-ins at her house, and the fact Peter had been assaulted.

Her intentions were good. She had kept this information from her parents in an effort to avoid inflicting worry upon them since they tended to worry about everything. She told them the whole story, starting from the beginning and ending with the reason for her sudden visit to Florida. The looks of disbelief and worry in her parent's eyes broke her heart. They hadn't had a clue any of this was going on in her life.
