Chapter 275: I've Made A Lot of Promises

Jarrod's POV:

I don't know if I should take her to the station now or wait.

It's a 'right now' sort of thing to do, right?

Except, the evidence is gone and the fight with her best friend has completely taken her energy.

I don't want her to feel any more under pressure than she already does. But I'm scared that if we put it off, she'll change her mind.

I can't bear for her to change her mind.

I need her to find the justice she deserves and will do anything I can to give it to her. I'd even use my own hands if I thought it would work. I'd kill him myself, except that would be the easiest way to lose her. Anger boils inside me at the mere idea of Rick Roderick.

"Do you want to go now?" I ask hesitantly.

"Can we go in the morning?" she asks with a timidity that isn't like my Tallulah.

"Of course. If that's what you want."
