Chapter 132
“Be careful out there-the ground’s slick!”
“I know, | know. You go on and get srest.” Alessia waved a hand without looking back and headed off down
the street.
Halfway there, the rain began to patter down-gentle at first, but steady enough to soak through if you weren't
careful.
“Oh, great. Rain.”
“I brought an umbrella! Con, let's walk together.”
Students trickled out of the academic building, clutching their bags and huddling under whatever cover they
could find. Six stood by the door, staring out at the rain as it picked up.
“Six, you didn’t bring an umbrella?”
“Nope. Forgot.”
“I didn’t either, but my mom’s coming to pickup. Want to ride with us?”
“No, it's fine.” Six hoisted his backpack over his head for cover.
“Isn’t your mom coming for you?”
He didn’t answer. He hated talking about his personal life.
“I'll get going, then.” Six was about to step out into the rain when a voice called his
name.
“Six!”

“Six, who's that? Is she your sister? She's so pretty!”
“Yeah.” He watched Alessia approach, giving a half-hearted reply.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, taking the umbrella she handed him.
“Cto walk you home.”
Six pressed his lips together, his pupils tightening. He couldn’t remember the last the’d heard the word
“home” spoken to him.

Did he... really have a hnow?
“Let's go.” Alessia started forward, then noticed he was still standing there.
“Yeah.” He hurried to catch up, but after a few steps, he stopped and looked over his shoulder at his classmate.
“My family’s here to pickup, so I'll head out first.”
“See you tomorrow!” His classmate grinned, waving.
“See you tomorrow.” Six mimicked the gesture, a shy smile on his face.
By the tthey reached the clinic, the rain had stopped. Alessia folded up her umbrella and pushed open the
door.
“You're back?” Xander called, stepping into the hallway.
Alessia placed Six’s umbrella in the stand by the door. “Yep, we're back.”
“I'm home,” Six said quietly.
The rainy season... it seemed it had finally passed.
“Six, what are you doing sitting by the door? Cin before you catch cold,” Xander fussed, snapping Six out of
his thoughts.
“Coming.” Six stood, brushed off his clothes, and followed them inside.
Outside, the rain had started up again, pouring even harder as Alessia and Zachary waited at the bus stop.
Suddenly, Alessia’s phone rang. She gave Zachary a quick nod before stepping aside to answer.
“Lessie, just like you said, Fitch is online trashing the company. It’s already trending. Should we go into damage
control?”
“Let him rant a little longer. What about Tristan and the others?”
“Tristan’s on his way, Liam's still training at the studio.”

Alessia hesitated. “No, let him rest. He just wrapped up that big project.”
“Alright, Ill have Vera pick you up now.”

“Everything okay?” Zachary asked.
“Just a work thing. I won't be heading hwith you.”
“Is it serious? Anything I can help with?” Concern clouded his face.
