I hadn’t stepped foot in a school since I was ten.
I was about to leave when I saw Carl get out of the car to head inside. Since it was my last day in this world, I mustered the courage to jog to him.
But as I approached, I saw him frowning while speaking to someone on the phone. When he saw me, a hint of wariness flickered in his eyes. He said, “Got it.”
Then, he hung up and stalked toward me. I wanted to ask him to have dinner with me that night, but the look in his eyes made me hold myself back.
He snarled, “Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself if you want to remain a member of the Jensen family, Holly. I’ll show you what hell on earth is like if you dare do anything to Pheebs.”
