Chapter 136
Avery and Elliot went home in the afternoon to rest because they planned on staying up to ring in the new year.
Once Elliot was asleep, Avery opened her eyes and stared at his face.

He got out of bed and went downstairs to look for her.

Avery was in the middle of making dinner.
“I’m thinking of making steak tonight. What do you think?”
