Casper's POV Throughout our ride, Riya did not say another single word to me. She kept looking out of the window, her aura sullen and weak. Aside from the fact that she had called me out of the blues to get her to some place safe, I could tell that she wasn't feeling okay. I wondered what it was about. Was it because of Hiram? Did she and Hiram get in a fight? I stopped my car in front of the apartment building I owned and exited the car, walking to Riya's side of the car to open the door for her. She stepped out of the car as I did so. “We're here.” I gave her a small smile but she did not reciprocate it. Her face was pale and her eyes looked red and swollen from crying. I led her inside the apartment building and we took an elevator to the top floor where the vacant room was located.
