MARIA'S POV I had promised Alex that I would be going over to his house to pay him a visit. Well, it wasn't what I had planned, it was just as a result of his persistent calls and texts. I didn't want him in here at Connor's house, and I also didn't want to meet him out in the open, so he suggested that I visited him at his house. I wasn't really sure if it was a good idea, but I just had to choose it rather than going out to meet him in a public space. "I have to hurry up, I need to get out before Connor gets back from work," I muttered to myself as I picked a dress, standing in front of the mirror and checking how it fits. "Not like I have anything to hide, but I just want to save myself the explanation when he asks. I just want to limit the way I talk to him," I muttered still stand
