Chapter 20: The Confession

Alexandra and Caleb were now back in his apartment as they sat outside on the balcony that overlooks the city beneath them, under the night sky as the cool wind ruffled their dark hair.

She turned her head slightly to the side to look at Caleb who was sitting right next to her.
