Chapter 261 Missing You More Than Words

My dad spoke up. “What are you saying? Mr. Atlas had a drink, so he shouldn’t be driving!”

“Oh,” I replied, getting up. “Alright.”

When we got to the car, Atlas said, “Head to Cresswind Valley.”

My heart sank a bit. Although Cresswind Valley was closer than Fremont Bay, I wondered why he didn’t

want to go back there

As if reading my thoughts, he explained. Fremont Bay is too far I don’t feel comfortable with you driving
