CHAPTER 28

  Stefan

  I came out of the shower.

  "What are you going to do?" Sara asked me.

  I looked at her while changing.

  "I have to go see Kara. After what happened last night, I can't stay at the hotel. We need to talk. If I'm lucky, Derek will be at work, and I can talk to her alone."

  "Alone?" She raised an eyebrow. "You intend to go see Kara by yourself? You told me we'd do it together. You promised."

  "I don't think it's a good idea for you to come with me after what happened yesterday. I want to talk to Kara about that."

  "But talk about what? Why? I told her I went to see her and solved our problems."

  "If that's the case, you don't need to worry about coming with me."

  "But, Stefan... you promised."

  I finished getting ready and walked to the door.

  "Yes, but I'll do this alone. I'm sorry. I have to go."

  "If you walk out that door, Stefan, we're going to have another problem."
