I could hear my father's growl from the other line, but I knew he had caught up to my true intentions. I could not let him know that, along with this pretense, there was a truth behind it. I was taking Nick with me, away from all these people and this chaotic world.
William told me to wait for him to take Ferin to the hospital for her therapy appointment, and it was just in time because she would not be going back until tomorrow. It was long enough to buy me and Nick our freedom.
"Stay here and wait for me! We will go once I settle Ferine's appointment with the therapist. Make sure to prepare all you need." William sounded hesitant, and the sound of frustration was evident in his voice.
I nodded, trying to hide my thrill. This was our only chance to escape and start a new life together. Nick would be strongly against it, as he dreamed of a life with Ferine, but soon he would acknowledge my reasons.
