Caleb and Abby went downstairs to make breakfast, leaving Leah to pace back and forth in the room while Stefen dawdled in the bathroom.

He spends more time getting ready than I ever do.

As much as she wanted to rip his arms off and beat him with the bloody stumps, her heart was overwhelmed. When she walked through the door, the humiliation on his face was enough to make her want to bolt and never come back. He looked so lost and hopeless and nothing like the confident cocky man she was used to.

Honestly, she was shocked by the damage those assholes had caused. Not because he looked like shit—though he kind of did—but more because he looked miserable. Even with his droopy eye, scars, and cast, his new slight imperfections didn’t really change much. He was still gorgeous.

“Of course he is,” she muttered dryly under her breath.

And now she had all these jumbled up emotions after hearing about his stupid flower pot. When she listened to him fumble out his reason, she wanted to grab him and never let go. It validated that he did care about her once, it hadn’t just been her imagination.

Shaking her head, Leah pushed those thoughts out of her mind. She needed to concentrate on her purpose here, not on the feelings she still had for Stefen.

The bathroom door opened and he came out, wearing an eye patch. Glittering jewels bedazzled the entire thing, and she couldn't help but laugh. “I take it Madison made that for you?”

He smirked, still looking sexy as ever. “Yep. She said I looked like a pirate, so she added the skull and cross bone charm, then felt the need to dazzle it up with the rhinestones.”

He would do anything that little girl asked. Leah had to admire that. “Well it's very stunning. I can't wait to take you out in public with it.” She snickered because it was also funny as hell.

He shook his head, laughing a little. “Uh, no. If Madison isn’t around, I wear the cloth one the doctor gave me.” He looked down, admitting, “Besides, I don't feel comfortable leaving the house unless it's to the doctor's office.” He continued to look at the floor when he touched the eye patch and frowned, breaking her heart.

He’s really lost. How can I go from being so pissed at him to wanting to help him get through this?

He finally looked up and ran his hand through his messy, overgrown air. “I’ve been wanting to go out for a haircut, but that can wait. The idea doesn't thrill me.”

Leah smoothed her palms on the front of her jeans, nervously offering, “If you really want one, I can do it. I used to cut my dad's hair before he died. I even got my Cosmetology License when I turned eighteen, so I could make a few bucks on the side during college. I cut all the guys’ hair in our dorm.” She rocked back and forth on her heels as she rambled on.
