Chapter Nine

Adin stepped away from Legacy, so she could walk in. When she did, she walked up to his bedroom with him following closely behind. She turned around and looked at him, but he walked over to his dresser, pulled out a t-shirt, and handed it to her.

She took the shirt into his bathroom to get ready for bed. When she walked back out, Adin had gotten ready too, now wearing his pajama pants with no shirt. She watched him turn down the covers for her. Then he pulled off a pillow from his bed and held it to his chest, walking toward her.

“I’ll be downstairs if you need anything,” he whispered. He leaned down, kissed her forehead, and started to step away.

She grabbed his arm as she started to cry. Gods, she didn’t care she was upset. She couldn’t bear the thought of sleeping alone in his bed. “Don’t go,” she whispered, holding onto his arm.

They stood still for several seconds while she clung to his arm, trying to control her crying.

Adin finally took a small step closer to her, and her breath caught. She knew he wanted to hold her, but he was waiting to see if she’d let him. When she took a step in his direction, it was apparently the confirmation he was hoping for. He slowly wrapped his arms—pillow and all—around her, and she sobbed uncontrollably in his embrace. They held each other for a few minutes, and then Legacy realized she wasn’t the only one letting go of her emotions.

“You have no idea h-how sorry I am, Legacy,” Adin whispered through jagged breaths.

She nodded against his chest. She knew he was beating himself up about this, and part of her felt like he should continue to do so. But the other part was emotionally exhausted.

She stepped away from him and walked to the bed. He followed her, pulled the covers over her, and then got in on the other side, facing her.

She stared at him, but didn’t know what to say. She didn’t want to be mad at him, but she was still upset. She knew that Venus was a conniving witch, but Adin was her boyfriend. She wanted him to be strong enough to resist, even if the evil person was created in the likeness of the goddess of love. No matter how Legacy tried to rationalize what happened, her feelings were still hurt.

He sighed, shutting his eyes while tears leaked over. “I’m sorry.”

“I know.” He’d let himself down, but she believed the reason he was so upset was because he’d let her down. Hurting her feelings was what really upset him.

“I love you,” he breathed.

She nodded and cried while she covered her face. “I love you too.” And she did. Nothing would ever change that.

He scooted closer to her and wrapped his arm around her, and she held onto him as she continued to let go. After a few minutes of sobbing, she looked up to tell him goodnight, and he was looking down at her, watching over her.
