Chapter 44: An Attempt to Portray the Perfect Image of Family

"I'll see you soon, mother," I say as I kiss her on the cheek. "May I walk you to your car?" I offer in an attempt to portray the perfect image of family to the other clientele of the restaurant.

"Yes please, Landon," she replies as she gets to her feet and so I offer her my arm and lead her out of the restaurant.

I consider going back to the office, but I can't bring myself to do it. It's unlike me not to want to work. I enjoy my work, but right now, that's not what I want.

What I want is to see Aurora. I want to f*ck her. But right now, that isn't an option, so instead, I ask Henry to take me home.
