Starting over

Carrington

After that night, I came back to Mason’s house. I said nothing after arriving and expected a lecture from Mason. I entered the house as Mason met me at the door. I glanced at him as he studied me.

No lecture came as I hiked upstairs to my bedroom. Over the summer, I stayed to myself. I vowed not to fall in love again. Elliot was right that love was nothing but trouble. I wouldn’t report to Saintwood College in the fall since I took correspondence courses to finish my degree during the summer. It’s better this way.

Gloria made her decision, leaving me upset and angry. As I focused on moving on, Cole toddled into my room and touched my leg. I peeked at Cole as he held onto my leg and steadied himself. He stared at me with his blue eyes as I smiled at him. I spoke nothing as Luci walked in and picked him up.

/"Cole, you shouldn’t bother Carri. He’s busy moping./"
