As they entered she looked up from her reading. ![]() Near the glass doors to the rooftop patio sat Chloe's mother, magazine in hand, reading by the evening sun. The others followed behind, and Natthaniel plowed right into Chloe's back, bouncing off. Then there was the simple fact that Chloe had long come to accept, good things just didn't last.Ĭhloe spread the doors to her suite wide and marched in boldly.
