CHAPTER 28

FALLING IN LOVE WITH EVIL

In the morning I am woken up by the smell of coffee that fills my nostrils. I sit up on my bed and inhale sharply before I climb out of bed and head to the bathroom where I wash my face and brush my teeth, after that I make my bed and join my mom downstairs for breakfast.

“Morning Mama!” I say, my voice louder than I had intended for it to be.

“Someone’s in a good mood.” She says as she places a bowl of cereal in front of me then sits across me.

“Not really, I am just glad the year is almost over and that we ending it on a good note.” I tell her and she smiles.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go with your Dad and I ?” She asks as she slowly chews her food.

“I want dad and you to connect mom. I want to give you two space to do that.” I tell her and she shakes her head.
