Sigh
All For OneChapter 20
I couldn’t believe I actually managed to get sleep after everything that happened yesterday. Unlocking my phone I saw eighteen missed calls and quite a few messages, all from Mark from yesterday evening. I had my phone yes, but I was in such a daze, in such deep thought that I probably didn’t hear the phone ringing. I decided to call him since he was probably worried about me not calling him back to tell him that I reached home safely.
