Chapter Twenty

Twenty minutes later, Zayne stopped at an iron gate. I looked around the property as he pulled into the driveway and parked the car.

“I know today will be intense, but if you think about it, take a look at the details of the house. I would love to build a log home for us.” Hope flickered across his handsome face.

My brows shot up. “Really?” He had no idea how much I loved the idea. In Montana, there were a lot of log homes, but not many in Spokane.

“Yeah. If you want, I’ll take you to the lake property after we visit Brynn.”

“Yes! I would love to see it.”

I filed out of the car behind Holden, then threw my arms around his neck. “I love you. We could live in a tent for all I care. The important thing is having you next to me.”

Holden brought me closer, then gave me a sweet kiss. “Love you, too.” He smoothed my hair and sighed. “Are you ready to talk to Brian?”

“No, but I don’t have a choice. Plus, I need to know if Kassandra and Opal are in custody. I’ve only been home twenty-four hours, but in some ways it seems longer.”

“I don’t want to overload you. Regardless of how you feel, your emotions and brain are still processing. It’s going to take time. One minute you’ll think you’re okay, the next …” Holden massaged the back of his neck with his free hand. “As far as Opal and Kassandra, they had better be in custody. If so, I’d like to pay them a visit,” Holden said between clenched teeth. He slid his arm around my waist as we followed Zayne up the sidewalk and to the front door.

Zayne waltzed in as though he owned the place, and I grinned. It felt good to laugh. The last three weeks had been full of pain and sheer terror. At times I wondered if I would ever experience happiness again. But here I was.

Nearly tripping over my feet, I gasped as we entered the living room. The floors were stunning, with red and blonde woven into the wood. The matching ceiling accentuated the dark rafters. Normally I didn’t like the red, but it was softer with the mix. I gripped Holden’s muscular bicep and beamed up at him. “It’s beautiful.”

Holden rubbed my back as we entered the living room. “So are you. I love seeing your face light up. It makes me happy.” Pierce, Sutton, and Brian stood in the middle of the space, talking quietly.

“Boss,” Zayne said as we neared the small group.

“Hey, everyone. It’s good to see you all.” Pierce nodded at us.

Sutton didn’t hesitate as she gave me a big hug. “How are you doing?” Concern danced across her beautiful features. “Were you able to get any sleep?”

“A little bit.”

“Hi, Reid.” Sutton patted him on his arm. “It’s nice to see you as well.”

“Likewise.” Reid shoved his hands into his pockets, suddenly appearing shy.

Jace greeted everyone, then we all sat next to each other on the black couch, the soft leather dipping beneath our weight.
