Ever since Atlas went to Quillbrooke, I had only seen him at the press conference from a

hadn’t called me since his return, and I didn’t want to disturb him.

Disappointed, she let out a gentle smile.
“Hey, I wanted to treat you the other day, but you weren’t around. Come on,” I said,
gesturing for her to get

I took her to the restaurant that Lauren and I went to. Although Josh and Melanie spoiled
