Everyone had comfort items. Lana had her Troll dolls, Riley her art. I’d even seen Preston playing with little tin foil flowers. Books, stuffed rabbits and a picture of a little boy were a few of my items.

A teapot was something I never thought would end up on that list. Yet here I was, once again slung over Mason Kessler’s shoulder while tightly gripping onto the handle. As if that tiny bit of porcelain could whisk me away from this nightmare.

While I didn’t know where Mason was taking me or what was going to happen, I did know there were three blue flowers and four pink on the teapot. The blue ones had the smallest touch of yellow in them, and the pink had darker shades of the same color.

Both types were beautiful, but I preferred the one closest to the top. The chip missing from one of the petals told me how much this little dish was used.

“Maggie really loves this tea set.”

“I think you have other things to worry about, Freckles,” Mason growled while rounding a corner. “Why the fuck are you talking about a tea set?”

His logic was sound. The corridor Mason was walking down led to a set of stairs. And up there… my room. Was it weird that I thought about it as mine? I didn’t have to think about that right then. Just like I didn’t have to think about what he was going to do to me in that room. Not as long as I focused on the dish in my hand.

It was a pretty little thing, with a gold tip on the lid that glinted when we passed a light. Did her mother get it for her? Maybe her father did? I’d only seen Shelby’s parents a couple of times, but they seemed like nice people. Shelby was crushed when her father died. When I saw her moping around school, I wanted to hug her. I didn’t.

That would only encourage her to do something like show up at my house, and Daddy would have someone else to put on his radar. Star, I couldn’t stop him from finding out about, but Shelby and Riley I kept safely tucked away. He didn’t even know their names. Every time they’d text I’d tell him it was someone from school that needed help with an assignment.

If this tea-pot did come from Maggie’s dad, it might be the last thing she had of him. Something so precious needed to be taken care of.

“Mason, please let me put this down.”

He grumbled something inaudible then stomped up a step, making me slap my free hand down his back to clutch his shirt as I was jarred on his shoulder. On the upside, my bruises were healed so this ride didn’t hurt as much as the last. But it was still uncomfortable.

“Please,” I tried again.

“Drop it. Who gives a shit about a tea-pot.”

“Maggie does.” I quieted my tone when his shoulder twitched, tightening the muscle under me. Don’t poke the beast.
