Conflicted Thoughts
Adeline bit her lip slightly and was trying to decide what she was going to do. She did not want to be at home, at all, but it wasn't like she could stay up here. Well she could stay up here, but then it would just cause more stress with Regis. Which she didn't need, and he was on her a lot about coming back and not staying up there. She tried hard to not fight with him, but she didn't want to be with him in any way anymore.
She was still working when she was up here, but not the entire time. She hadn't told Jamie about her and Dassen yet. She wasn't exactly sure how much longer the two of them could keep it between them in the house. They weren't being quite as careful and Lewis nearly walked in on them yesterday. Not that they were doing much but given a few minutes they probably would have been.
