When Phoenix knocks on the bedroom door to tell me dinner is ready, I ignore him. I’m hungry and it’s probably childish to not go eat but I don’t want to deal with them right now. I want to sit here and read my book and not give a crap about the outside world for a few hours.

When my stomach growls, I turn my back to the door and Phoenix’s persistent knocking and try to get into the book again. The words make absolutely no sense and I put the book down in frustration. Cookie raises her head and looks at me as if to say, ‘You’re only punishing yourself’ and then lays back down with a snort.

I roll onto my back and stare at the ceiling. I can smell the food and it makes my mouth water. Roast with thick gravy, potatoes I know will be cooked perfectly, baby carrots that will practically melt in your mouth. Homemade yeast rolls that are my all-time favorite and I’m pretty sure I smell that apple pie that she was making earlier.

“I get it, ya know,” he mumbles, his voice close to the door. My imagination paints him leaning his forehead against the door wearing a look of frustration. I say nothing, I’m not sure what to say.

I scoff, “Trust? Are you serious?” I climb off the bed and pull the door open. “I get that you were all in pain, I do, and I’m totally sorry for it. But this game won’t play out like Hez hopes. If there’s any desire for reconciliation then he needs to get his head out of his ass or this bond will suck a lot more than it already has. I have bigger things to worry about than ego trips and I won’t be pushed down by a meaningless vendetta for circumstances were out of my control! If it’ll make you all happy I’ll find a way to break the bond and free you from the misery of being connected to me!”

“No! Don’t break the bond!” Barrett practically yells, stepping around the corner of the hallway into sight. Oz is right beside him and I can see Hez lurking farther back.

“Then suck it up!” I yell, slamming the door in Phoenix’s face. As
