Chapter 9- Breaking it to Charles

Once again Tom escorted me home. This time Charles wasn't there waiting. I took a deep breath. “Thank آپ for your support Tom. It means so much to me,” I hugged him.

“Of course Esie, you're my best friend, I could never let آپ down,” he hugged me back and walked me to the door. “Let me know immediately if there is any problem at all with Charles. I'll be here as soon as I can,” he promised hugging me one مزید time before he left.
