Shylah pushed down the hurt at Eden's abrupt exit. He'd looked at her like . . . like she was damaged.

Was she damaged? She looked at her scars in the mirror every damn day and often asked herself that question.

Seeing it in Eden's eyes seemed worse somehow. The idea that this could be it for her and Eden was gut-wrenching. Shylah had always maintained the hope that they would find their way back to each other, even when Eden had accused her of such awful things.

Not being able to bring herself to cry, Shylah could only feel hollow.

Climbing out of bed, she moved to the shower. She didn't know what the day held, but she sure as hell wouldn't wait around in bed naked for a man that may or may not want her.

Avoiding the mirror, Shylah stepped into the shower, closing her eyes as the warm water droplets hit her shoulders.

Fourteen months. Fourteen months of not seeing him but all the while believing that they would end up together. This was the first time she'd truly questioned it.

Once Shylah finished her shower, she made quick work of getting dressed before leaving the room in search of Mason. At the sight of Bodie standing by the kitchen island eating cereal, Shylah stopped.

Turning to face her, his smile went some way in lifting Shylah's spirits.

"Hey," Bodie said, mouth full of food.

"Hey, Bodie, I thought Mason would be here." Proud of herself that she could sound semi-okay, Shylah stepped further into the kitchen.

She was glad it was Bodie. He was less intense than the other guys, and he often put Shylah at ease.

His shaggy brown hair set him apart and gave him a laid-back appearance that suited his personality.

Every other guy on the team had maintained their military cuts. That, combined with his dimples when he smiled and friendly personality, made him easy company.

"Mason? Nah, he's not as good with the ladies." Raising his brows, Bodie smiled before his expression turned thoughtful. "He is good with Eden, though, so he's out there searching for the giant idiot."

Giant idiot sounded about right.

Pushing her sleeves up, Shylah went to Eden's pantry, searching to see what he had. Pulling out jars, she was pleasantly surprised by what she found.

"I didn't think he would have baking ingredients." Ducking her head back in, she pulled out everything she saw that could be turned into some sort of baked good. "He even has chocolate chips."

Plonking them down onto the kitchen island, she went in search of baking utensils.

Shoving some more cereal in his mouth, the corner of Bodie's lips pulled up. "Maybe the guy remembered how much you love to bake and wanted to be ready."

Pausing where she was, she felt a moment of flutters at the possibility but quickly pulled herself back to reality.

"I doubt that's the case. Eden was about ready to have me shipped off to the closest cell when he first saw me in town. I doubt he was prepping his kitchen for me to bake him a cake.
