Chapter 55

Emmett showed up at Clara’s place, his presence in the tiny room seeming to shrink the space even more.

“When are you moving to my place?”

“In a few days, I guess!”

Clara frowned, “I need some time to pack! I still have time on my lease here and I’ve already paid the rent!”

Emmett plopped down on the sofa, picking up a finance book from the coffee table, “You into this stuff?
