Thalia Donovan One moment, I was in bed with Cris and was about to indulge in something delicious, and then the next, he was running out of the house at the speed of light. He asked if I wanted to come with him and told me that he would be there every step of the way, holding me and protecting me from anyone who tries to do anything to make me feel bad. I was thankful for the way he cared about me, but I knew it was better not to go. Because if I did and it does so happen that someone so much as looks at me, then Cris will get mad and who knows what he would do then? I didn’t want to risk that, so I decided to stay at home instead. Half an hour later, after showering and all, I was bored and going out of my mind, and was sort of maybe regretting that decision. Waiting was so difficu
