Chapter 7. Might Be What I Needed

Isabel’s POV

I booked a bolt to Canyonville to see my parents.

The drive to canyonville always felt like a journey back in time, each mile taking me closer to the life I’d left behind.

As we drive into the familiar gravel road leading to my parents’ house, I can’t help but feel the weight of everything that has happened.

My divorce from Alexander was still fresh, the pain sharp and unrelenting, like a wound that refused to heal.

I thought to myself, how am I going to face my parents? 

They had put so much effort into making my life better, they made sure I lacked nothing, even though we weren’t rich.

They hustled day and night, to see that I never lacked, and made sure I attended one of the best high schools in LA.
