The silence is strained, like a cord about to snap back and hit me painfully. I'm reluctant to break it, but I can't hold the question in for long.

"Was it worth it?" I clear my throat and glance down, amending my inquiry because it's not really the question I meant to ask. "I mean...was I...am I worth it?"

He's sitting at the edge of the bed, hands balled into fists on his thighs. He's been glaring at the wall, saying and doing nothing for several minutes. After he hung up on Penny, he's not moved from his position.

Kase is stone-faced, and in that moment looks more like his brother than I've ever seen him. Cruz has always had an angry set to his jaw, before he even had a reason to be furious with life. To the world they may appear identical, but I've always known Kase's face. It disturbs me to see him look so much like his bastard brother.

He doesn't answer for a long moment, so I continue talking, though filling the silence with inane chatter has never been my go-to. Daddy says silence is often the best tactic to get information out of someone. Give them level eye-contact and remain silent, and a person will spill their deepest secrets, just to escape the discomfort.

My voice comes out a choked whisper. It's all I can manage through the thick knot of emotion lodged in my throat. I feel wretched. Once again, I've stumbled into his life and managed to fuck up just about everything in it. If Kase hadn't loved me, his father would still be alive. If he'd just let me get captured or simply left me alone, he'd still have contact with his family.

"I'm so sorry. You know I'd never mean to..." Put him in danger? Well, that's a fat fucking lie. I knew that I was dragging him into harm's way by contacting him. "I wasn't trying to get between you and your family."

Kase lets out a watery snort. "Cruz has been looking for a reason to cut me off for years. Trust me, he'd have done it a long time ago if it weren't for Uncle Rocco. You're just the most convenient excuse he can come up with."

"But..." I struggle to find the words to express just how unfair this is.

Kase heaves a sigh and lays back so that his head rests in my lap. He stares up at me, and I know I don't deserve the love I see in his eyes. I never dared expect it, hoping only for some kindness from my ex-boyfriend in my hour of need. The tenderness that etches his face brings tears to my eyes. Kase brings up a hand and catches the salty droplets before they can drip from my chin to his face.

"Don't cry, babe. It's fine, really."

"No it's not," I say thickly. "It's not right. He's a bastard."

Kase snorts and a grin flashes across his face. "Yes, he is. But that's nothing to cry over, Brook.
