Chapter 51

Ember's Pov

I could still see Paris's face in my head as I made my way home. I could go on and about wanting a divorce, but he filled my head and heart most days, which made me worry and wonder how I would ever move past him. It was as though some days I moved one step, only to move five steps backward every time I saw him.

I sighed as I sat in my bed, and brought out my tab. Now that we were working together on something that was very important to me, I was going to have to stay true to my request and keep things between us on business grounds. Even if it all but killed me from within.

I checked the news headlines and my heart tore to see the news of more and more youths dropping out of school. Some were because they had no one to fund them, the others? Well, because they had no one to guide them. No one to tell them to stay on the right path.
