Chapter 155

Aria's POV I woke up with a start when I heard movement in the living room. Lillian was supposed to be asleep for at least another hour. Embarrassed at being caught in the act, I quickly tried to hide what I was doing. "Not sleeping anymore?" I asked, trying to sound casual. "Just getting up to pee," she mumbled, stretching and yawning dramatically. I huffed. "You look wide awake to me. Maybe we should just head out now." Seriously? She had to come check on me right when I was doing something embarrassing? She seemed perfectly alert! Lillian coughed lightly. "I'm still exhausted. You keep... poking away at your screen." She gestured vaguely at my phone before retreating to her bathroom. Great. She'd seen me stabbing at Aiden's photos and had the nerve to tease me about it! After she left, I felt too self-conscious to continue my petty revenge against Aiden's digital face. With a sigh, I closed the social media app and checked the time. Only 8:10? Time was crawling by impossibly slowly.
