Alexis Solace [1ST PERSON POV] [THE DAY BEFORE]

When the following morning came, I felt great. Well-fed and well-rested, I feel like I was just hit with fatigue and stress, causing me to faint, but I feel like I’m in tip-top shape. I woke up in time, and left my house earlier, thinking that I’d probably have breakfast with Mr.Reign anyway.

I walked the short distance from my house to the bus stop and held my breath as I looked around for any trace of the black car Connor had. Thankfully, there were none, but there’s no saying they won’t appear later tonight. Maybe I could hide my employment for the time being?

How am I supposed to do that? Maybe Mr.Reign could help me–he’s the one who offered compromises. Maybe we could actually make this work.

Maybe working at a remote site?

We could talk about it over breakfast. He’s a lot easier to talk to over food, as expected
