I quickly read the message and my body instantly relaxes. That is until I realize that she couldn't reach me and she called Kael. The first thing I did when Kael said he wanted us to be real was to make him Eli's second contact at the school and with Gilda. I was thrilled to be able to remove Clarice and Dominick's names from anything to do with Eli. Sh*t, she had bothered Kael at work because my phone was on vibrate and I didn't feel it. I was hoping I wouldn't have to face him yet, but I guess I have to suck it up. Get it together, Sera, and be a grown up. Your son comes before whatever is happening between you and Kael. Twenty minutes later, I'm driving back to Kael's house after speaking with my supervisor about taking a few days off. She practically pushed me out the door since HR
