CHAPTER 26

  Kara

  "Are you sure you'll be okay alone? I don't think it's a good idea for you to stay here. Maybe you could consider my idea of living with me in my apartment. When Stefan left home last night, Derek told me that my apartment wasn't safe for me. I didn't have anywhere else to go. So Derek offered to take me to his apartment. Of course, I told him no. I didn't accept. Derek did enough for me; he paid for an apartment in advance. I don't think it's right for me to move into his place."

  "I don't think so, Derek," I grimaced.

  Derek sighed and looked at me with disappointment.

  "Stefan comes to see you whenever he wants. I don't like. He doesn't know where I live. In a new apartment, you'll be safe, Kara. Think about it."

  "Alright, I'll think about it."
