He stated one thing too quiet for me to listen to, and her eyes widened.

Then, staring into her eyes, he took a chunk, and I noticed her throat bob.

Music stuffed the air—Amara threw her arm round Callie’s shoulder, and started to bounce.

The temper within the room lightened—although I used to be ignoring the elephant.

“Did you neglect it was your birthday?” Summer season requested.

“How do you know?” I used to be amazed—I’d by no means advised her the date.

“I’ve my methods,” she threw me a smirk as she took my hand, main me in the direction of Knight. “And put that away, please.”

I hadn’t even realized I used to be nonetheless holding my gun.

“Rook, that is Knight. Knight, that is Rook. And likewise, Tatiana.” Summer season stated sarcastically. “They’re new mates I made.”

“Hello, Rook. It’s good to see you once more.” With out preamble, Tatiana hugged me, and I folded into it. Holding her tight. I’d missed her, too.

Fuck me. What had Summer season executed to me? I used to be hugging individuals? Lacking them?

As Tatiana pulled again, I didn’t miss Summer season’s glad grin. Then she leaned into my facet as I confronted Knight.

“I see you bought what you wanted,” he stated, referring to Saul. He’d been the one to offer me the data that led me again right here, in change for leaving him and Tatiana alone in Vegas.

“I did.”

“And I’m not speaking about your revenge.”

I blinked at him in shock and that smile, that rattling smile he all the time had, crooked upwards.

“Fuck me,” I groaned, rubbing my hand over my face. He was speaking about Summer season. Bastard might learn me like a guide.

“You’d know what that’s like,” I lastly stated, and he shrugged.

“It solely will get higher from right here.”

We grinned at one another stupidly earlier than it melted off his face and he turned severe.

“Actually, although,” he stated. “I’m right here as a result of I needed to make amends. It was flawed of me for what I did to you.”

I blinked in shock. Had Knight apologized?

“This have to be why I noticed pigs flying earlier.”

He chuckled, and Tatiana wrapped an arm round him, her face shining with happiness. “He’s discovered a factor or two about making up for all of the shitty issues he did.”

“I did.” He stated in all seriousness. Fuck me, pigs actually had been flying. “And,” he continued, pulling one thing out from behind him, “I introduced a present.”

I took the small, wrapped package deal, tied with a crimson ribbon. Tatiana should’ve wrapped it—crimson ribbons had been her signature factor—the reminder made a trickle of sentimental heat circulation by way of me. “Thanks.”

“It’s…” Knight struggled to seek out the correct phrase, “they’re some movies I managed to seek out, in a few of my previous stuff. From occasions we frolicked. It has Nana in them.”

I blinked, feeling a burn behind my eyes. “Thanks,” I mumbled, touched.

“And,” he continued, “if I can do something to make up for what I did to you, then inform me.”

It took me a second to recover from my shock, however Summer season’s hand in mine was grounding.
