Chapter 154

As noon approached. Sherri descended the stairs in her loose pajamas, rubbing her tired eyes. Surprisingly, she spotted Natalie waiting downstairs and wondered if she was hallucinating

Quickening her pare, she bounced over to join Natalie’s side “When did you get here? Why didn’t you wake me up?” Meanwhile, Juana went to the kitchen for Ruby’s meals.

Quickly catching on to Natalie’s teasing. Sherri fired back. “Ah. you’re savoring every bit of this, aren’t you? Sister, I barely made it out alive this morning It felt like a never-ending marathon race”
