Khael's POV
The pain seemed to intensify throughout my working hours and I thought about leaving half way through but I continued to push it to the back of my mind.
I needed every cent I could get and leaving because of some pain was not plausible and certainly not my plan today. I just can't afford to.
I was relieved when my shift ended hours later and I dragged myself back to the hotel, the sight of the hotel reminded of Mom's suggestions.
How I wish it was that easy to just go and live with her, I wouldn't have to worry about a place to stay or keeping Rowan safe but I can't.
We've been apart for years and she's almost like a total stranger, and I'm scared of what the change might bring. What if she suddenly doesn't want us around and wants us to leave? I am tired of this instability that surrounds my life.
