Chapter 63. A Leech

Elona's POV

Tristan pulled up in front of my house, my dad's car was in the driveway. The ride to my house was silent, and I knew it was due to what Tristan had been going through recently. I was going to let him go through the motions and I would just be here supporting him.

"Hey," he reached out to me, his hand on my thigh before I could reach for the car door handle. I looked at him. He gave me a small smile of admiration. "You are beautiful, and I am proud of you," he said as he leaned in, placing a chaste kiss against my lips, and then he pulled away, "I will be going to work for the remainder of the day, I will text you when I can," he said. I know he will be burying himself in his work.

"I will look forward to that text. I am always a text away when you need me, whether that is to talk about anything." I gave him a reassuring smile.
