Chapter 54

Ethan’s POV

“What do you mean?” I ask her.

While I stand in that moment, I notice that Sky abruptly turns and starts walking away from me, breaking our eye contact. She begins to pace back and forth between her bed and me, running her fingers through her hair in frustration.

“Although he specifically instructed me not to mention it, I felt it was important enough to share with you. I don’t want to keep anything from you,” I smile at her words, my heart speeding up, as she continues to ramble, “but I also don’t know what to think about my father being back. Well, sticking around because he never really left in the first place.”

“Wait, what?” As she paces back and forth, I reach out and gently stop her, causing her to turn and face me. With her eyes widened in shock, she patiently waits for me to speak, her warm brown eyes captivating my attention. “He never left?”

“Kinda.” Her response was more of a question as she ran her fingers through her hair again.
