EMERY

Glancing at Shadow sitting next to the couch watching me, I flip the phone Sebastian gave me over in my hands. Would I have answered if he’d called last night? I honestly don’t know.

Even though Sebastian wasn’t gone all day today, it felt like he was. Now he’s in his office doing more work. Maybe it’s selfish of me to want to spend every second I can with him. Work is important to him. I know that. But from what I’ve seen, it also drains him when he spends so much time at the office only to continue working when he’s home.

Last night was hard on both of us, although whereas I got to sit around today, he had to work. Not only that but being here has to be hard on him. As much as Sebastian says he’s fine, I know he’s avoiding dealing with everything—at the very least, returning to his childhood home for the first time since his parents were killed.

Sick of being on the couch all day, I stand and wince as my ankle gets used to the change in position. It feels a little better than it did this morning but still sore. Shadow stands as I do, but he doesn’t hang around long before wandering towards the kitchen. After a moment, I follow after him and find him by the back doors.

“Do you want to go outside?” I ask him.

The glass doors leading outside look like they open entirely, folding into each other, opening up this whole space. Pulling open the main door, I let Shadow outside, and curiosity has me following him out onto the covered deck. Shadow takes off, but I don’t bother going after him. I only managed a quick glance outside earlier before Mason ushered me into the lounge, but by the looks of it, the yard extends quite far. I’d go exploring if my ankle was better.

The large deck has an outdoor kitchen, another large dining table, and a seating area with couches and what looks like a firepit.

Even though it’s covered out here, I feel like I can breathe. I never truly felt like I could at the penthouse. Sebastian and I danced around each other constantly. Not only that, knowing I was so close to the man I was running from had me feeling claustrophobic in the city with tall buildings and people everywhere.

Shadow appears a couple of minutes later, and reluctantly I head back inside. With the sun getting closer to the horizon, the temperature is dropping. As much as I want to stay in this space, I’m not rugged enough to be out here.

Mason had taken care of Shadow, letting him out whenever he needed and ensuring I didn’t get off the couch. The frustration of being immobile all day sits heavily on me. I need to do something. Mason already set up the large flat screen with the same program he had in the penthouse, but the last thing I want to do is watch television day in and day out again.
