After I rejected him, I withdrew to my room and I’m nonetheless right here. I’m too agitated to sleep, although. In a while, I hear Kai and Logan arriving, checking in on me as I faux to sleep.

If solely I knew what to do.

CHAPTER 19

ORION

She mentioned no. No. And she or he was asleep when Kai and Logan obtained right here. That’s by no means occurred earlier than. Not wanting intercourse when the three of us are right here. I’m not satisfied it’s due to her interval. She’s had intervals whereas right here and that by no means stopped her. May it’s that she discovered about her sister? I doubt it. I burned that piece of paper, and neither Kai nor Logan would inform her. She was stressed all night time. I do know she barely slept. And for the couple of hours that she did sleep, she sobbed a number of occasions. I needed to tighten my arms round her physique, and solely then she would relax.

Her brief breaths on my chest informed me she was awake. One thing’s torturing her. Or possibly I’m only a paranoid man who’s been betrayed too many occasions.

No matter it’s, when she finds out about her sister, she’ll be crushed. We mentioned final night time what the easiest way to do that is, and agreed we received’t be those to inform her. As soon as we discover Milan, he’ll have to come back clear a method or one other. Which can give her a gap to kill him, and when she does, it will likely be a revenge kill, thus eliminating any guilt that will come afterward. To get revenge for herself, for her freedom, for her sister. To assert her life again. As a result of with out that, guilt will break her life.

I stayed up virtually all night time. Mendacity subsequent to her with out doing something, it’s arduous. I used to be arduous. I’m arduous. Logan’s sleeping on her different facet, having snored for many of the night time. For him, so long as his physique’s touching Maisy’s, he sleeps like a child. In some unspecified time in the future within the night time, they have been holding fingers. She was positively awake then.

The primary ray of solar falls on her face, and all of a sudden she frowns. Her chin begins to wobble and she or he buries her head in opposition to my chest. Her shoulders shake with silent sobs.

“Shh, you’re simply having a nasty dream, Maisy,” I whisper. “It’s okay. We’re right here.”

Kai sits up on the ground and appears at us. I shake my head at him, prepared him to return to sleep. I don’t need her to wake. Not when she’s like this.

Logan opens his eyes and rolls over to face us, masking her physique along with his, virtually respiration down my neck. I hope it’ll calm her however her sobs develop louder, and now she’s full-on crying.

Logan whispers in her ear as he holds her tight. “Hey, Maisy, shhh, we’re right here. It’s only a dream, sweetheart.”

Realizing we’re all awake, she stops for a second to wipe her eyes, however it does no good. Her shoulders proceed to heave and she or he provides in, masking her face and simply sobbing.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m… I’m so sorry–” Her voice falters.

“Maisy, you have been dreaming.” I pull her nearer and kiss her brow. “Get up.”

Kai sits on the mattress and all three of us have a look at one another. Is that this simply her interval? No approach.

“Hey, child lady, come right here.”

The second she hears Kai’s voice she crawls into his arms, nonetheless crying. “I’m sorry, Kai.”

“What for? It’s solely a nasty dream. Don’t fear, child lady, I’m right here. We’re all right here. You recognize we’ll by no means let something occur to you. You recognize that, sure?” He lifts her chin as tears streak her face.

She nods, and extra tears roll down like rivers. “I’m sorry. Sure. I had a nasty dream.”

She wraps her arms round him and stays like that for some time. Her respiration eases off. All of us are exchanging glances, nervous for her.

“I don’t know why I cried. I feel I really like you a lot and I don’t need something to occur to you.” She appears at us by crimson eyes and wipes her tears dry. “That’s all.”

“Is that every one?” Logan raises his eyebrows at her and laughs, and all of us take part.

She smiles, too. “Can we exit as we speak, the 4 of us? Like, for lunch? Is that attainable?” she asks sweetly, taking a look at Kai. In fact the idiot will do something she needs.

I catch Logan’s eye. It might be harmful. However not exceptional. Folks know the three of us have met already, and we have been wonderful. Nobody obtained killed. It was a superb assembly, everybody agreed. This may very well be seen because the second official assembly.

As a substitute of responding, Kai appears up at me. “I can prepare it at Gianini’s. However all of us should conform to it.”

“I’m sport,” Logan says, and strokes Maisy’s arm. “I’d like to take you out, Maisy. You deserve it.”

“I feel she does. Gianini’s makes one of the best pizza within the metropolis. And I kinda personal the place. Effectively, practically.” The vanity in Kai’s voice is appreciable. She’s already ours, no want to indicate off, I really feel like telling him.

“Very properly,” I concede. “I’m not gonna cease this in the event you two are up for it. We’ll determine later what story to make use of.”
