“Got any more of that coffee?” Flick asked as she walked into the kitchen.

Mia looked up at her, hastily hiding her own cup behind her back. “Sh, are you trying to get me into trouble?” The other woman looked around with wide eyes as though expecting the boogeyman to jump out and steal her cup.

Flick grinned, ignoring the ache in her cheek. While the swelling had gone down considerably over the last couple of days, and she could now see out of that eye, the bruising had gotten worse.

She’d been at the Malone ranch for three days. Three days where, despite the underlying unease that Spencer would strike at any time, she felt safer than she had in years. She didn’t have to constantly worry about walking into a nightmare. She didn’t have to live on tenterhooks, waiting for the volcano she lived with to blow, never knowing when it was going to happen.

It was amazing. She’d always felt safe visiting here. It was part of the reason she came so much. But now, she didn’t have to go home. She didn’t have to return to the monster. Oh, she had no doubt he would come for her. He wasn’t going to let her go.

She still had nightmares each night. And West still insisted on sleeping on the floor of her bedroom. It probably should have felt weird, having him there. But he made her feel protected. Like she mattered.

She had to keep reminding herself he was doing it for Lana, not her.

“Don’t worry, I can get my own coffee. I wasn’t going to steal yours,” Flick told her.

“Sh, you’ll bring them in here.” Mia walked over to the kitchen door and shut it. “This is the first cup of coffee I’ve managed to sneak all week. I’m not risking it being confiscated and then listening to the umpteenth lecture on the evils of coffee when you’re pregnant.”

Mia took a sip then let out a blissful sigh.

“Um, not to sound like I’m not on your side but is coffee good for you when you’re pregnant?” she asked hesitantly.

Mia held the cup protectively against her body and growled at Flick. “Try to take it from me.”

Flick held up her hands and took a step back, trying to fight back a laugh. “Hey, far be it for me to stand between a pregnant woman and what she wants. I like my limbs where they are.”

Mia took another sip then sighed. “Sorry. I know I’m acting like a crazy person, but I’m going a little stir crazy here. I’m not allowed to ride. I’m not allowed to leave the house without an escort. I’m not allowed to eat half the things I want to eat and I’m not supposed to have coffee too? It’s a step too far.”

As Flick poured herself a cup, guilt filled her. “I’m sorry, Mia. Having me here is a real imposition. I’m putting you all in danger. I’m surprised Alec agreed to me staying with you when you’re pregnant.
