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.
