“You tear off that calendar every day. Is there something important coming up?“[]
“Nope. Just for fun.”
Her casual tone made Cassian even more uneasy.

It all started when Delilah appeared []
He looked at Delilah upstairs bossing everyone around, then finally stood up.
“sera, this is our home. My promise wont change. Delilah doesn’t belong here. I’m sending her back today.
He hurried upstairs and whispered something to Delilah Moments later, she came down with red eyes and her suitcase, looking pinful as she left with hum
