In the end, I didn't bring Damon home with me. Even though my mom would find out sooner or later, I wanted to delay it as much as possible.
The incident of my mom falling into a coma had put a lot of stress on me, and I didn't dare take any more risks.
I returned home alone to find Hannah already up and making breakfast. Seeing me return, she didn't ask much. She just gave me a small smile, "Ms. Brooks, did you go for a morning run?"
"Uh-huh." I nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Your mom asked where you went. I told her you went for a morning jog. She praised you for finally understanding the importance of exercise," Hannah replied.
I always felt that Hannah knew about my secret meetings with Damon, but she never directly mentioned it.
However, Hannah had great social skills and wouldn't spill the beans. Besides, she barely left my house, so I didn't have to worry too much.
