Daisy

Elijah was distant the rest of the day. It didn’t surprise me, but it still stung. Jo and Norm came back around dinner, huge grins on their faces. Grey embarrassed them as he’d done to Elijah and me.

Kat snorted. “He’s being passive aggressive since I won’t give him sex right now.”

I asked in a low tone, “Are you feeling okay?”

Her face paled. “Still haven’t felt the baby.”

“I’m sure you will.”

She shook her head. “You don’t know that.”

She was right and it wasn’t fair to say things I wasn’t sure would come true. She might not ever feel her baby again, which wasn’t something I wanted to think about.

Elijah got everyone’s attention. “We’re going to head out after diner. We’ll take it slow. Switch drivers as often as you need. The last thing we want is for someone to fall asleep behind the wheel.”

Kat asked me, “Did you know we were leaving tonight?”

“No. This is news to me.” Standing, I went over to Elijah. “Did something happen?”

His expression was grim. “Grey spotted a horde coming this way. We’re going to try to beat them.”

Nodding, I went back to Kat, filling her in.

She said, “I just hope we’re not making a mistake. Traveling at night is risky.”

She was right, but Elijah was determined. After dinner, everyone packed up and got into their vehicles. Jo’s car had run out of gas, so we were leaving it behind. Jo, Norm, and Faith packed their belongings into cars that had room. Jo ended up in our car, sitting next to Cooper. They played a card game while Elijah and I sat in silence.

I was reminded of the first time I’d rode in a car with him. He had just found me and took me back to his home. Though I didn’t know him, I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. There was something in his eyes that confirmed this. And now we’d been together for over a year. It was hard to believe that it had been that long. I snorted softly to myself.

“What’s so funny?”

“Just thinking about the day you found me.”

This made him smile. “Oh?”

“Yeah. Remember what a dick you were?”

He laughed. “I don’t recall it that way. What I remember is how a silly girl was walking around without a weapon.”

Jo leaned forward and said, “I don’t think I’ve heard this one.”

Shaking my head, I replied, “It’s a long story. Short version is Elijah found me in the loft of a barn and took me under his protection.”

“I’d like to be under him.” Coop coughed. “I mean, his protection.”

Elijah shot him a grin.

I went on, “He is right, though. I shouldn’t have been out there without a weapon, but the group I was with at the time wasn’t very good at surviving.”

Jo said, “Sounds like the last group we were with before we met up with y’all.”

Elijah replied, “Sadly a weapon can mean the difference between life and death these days.”

“Guess it’s a good thing we’re with an expert,” I replied, kissing him on the cheek.
