Carter Mansion – Morning❄️
Aria stepped back inside the house slowly, the cold morning air still clinging to her skin. She was still wearing her soft night dress, and the chilly breeze from outside had made her arms covered in goosebumps.
But the cold wasn't the only thing making her feel uncomfortable. It was Ryan.

Aria closed the back door quietly behind her and leaned against it for a second. Her chest felt heavy.
