Chapter 24

~Third Person~

Kehlani stops responding to Issac and stares daggers at Jayden. Jayden is stunned into silence and watches her at the bottom of the stairs. Issac realizes that Kehlani has stopped responding and is focused elsewhere. He follows Kehlani’s gaze and immediately senses what may be about to happen.

“Uh…..I think I will just let you two talk.” Issac nervously starts to back away towards the stairs. He turns to climb up the stairs and gives Jayden a sad look as he goes. Jayden tentatively walks toward Kehlani, and her gaze never falters. He stops a few feet from Kehlani and stands there waiting. Kehlani closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She opens her eyes and looks straight at Jayden.
