Chapter 152

　　I finally get home to my apartment in the early hours; Jake had two cars awaiting us at the airfield, so I didn’t need to share the journey to his apartment first. This was a new move for him as we’ve always shared cars coming home, so this spoke volumes about what he’s feeling about me.

　　He never looked at me once in our entire trip. At the cars, he just guided Marissa into his and departed, leaving me standing in the dark with Jefferson, empty and broken hearted, aching to have him say something, anything to me. I almost burst into tears right then and there.
