Chapter 316: Just Me and Him

Tallulah's POV:

We don't attend the sentencing. I don't care how long he gets and even if I did, DS Kentley will tell us anyway and we'll undoubtably get a letter from the court.

Instead, we spend the sentencing day in bed. It's a Monday. Jarrod should be at work and I should be finding a job.

It's almost August and I can't believe that this horrible ordeal is finally over. I can close the door on it and not look back. It's not as easily done as it is said, however.

I still find myself thinking about what happened when I least expect it, but Jarrod is doing his best to distract me, and boy is that man good at providing a distraction.

He's still trying to convince me that we should take a holiday and if I'm honest, I'm tempted.

It would be nice. Just me and him on an empty beach somewhere.

Logically though, we can't. I haven't got a job and I'm no longer a student. He tells me it doesn't matter. That he'll pay but I'm not okay with that. I want to pay my own way.
