Xander’s POV I walked up to my room talking with my mom and gave her another big hug before I stepped inside. “Thank you, mom.” “You are welcome and just know I will do whatever I can to help.” I walked into my room and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to sleep or take a shower first. I decided a shower was first, since I know I smell bad from the dungeon. “Jax, you there.” “Ya.” “How do I move on and let Sophia have my heart? I have worked so hard to build a wall I don’t know how to let it down and let her in.” “I am not sure because I already love her. I think maybe if you started slow and had an actual conversation with her to start with. You need to earn her trust and you’re going to have to do it publicly because she won’t be alone with us. I am truly sorry about that. It’s my fault.
