She pushed the button to turn off the security system and walked downstairs to open the door to Lara, Maya, and Addy. As she neared the door she also heard Shianneâs voice and stifled an eye roll. Sometimes, Shianne was a bit much. But Lara loved her, and she could be fun.
Opening the door, she smiled at her friends, old and new, and stepped back as they entered.
Lara wrapped her in a hug, then stepped back and looked at her face. âAre you alright? I mean, I can see youâve been beaten, and Tate warned me. But do you need anything?â
She chuckled. âNo, Iâm fine. Iâve been taking ibuprofen for pain and swelling, and I took a one-and-a-half-hour nap today. I felt much better after waking up.â
Shianne stepped inside next. âOh, my god.â She stared, even leaning in and getting a nice close-up view. âHow badly does it hurt?â
âItâs actually not as bad as it looks, to be honest.â
Lara grabbed Shianneâs arm and tugged her up the stairs as Maya and Addy crowded the entryway. She hugged them both briefly. âNice to see you both. Thank you for agreeing to come here rather than meet out.â
Maya grinned. âI donât care where I have a couple cocktails, as long as I do.â
Addy giggled. âItâs true. She doesnât care.â Addy hugged her briefly, and she motioned with her arm for them to go up the stairs. She locked the door and checked it twice to make sure sheâd locked it correctly. Her hands shook slightly. Inhaling a deep breath, she turned and saw Addy watching her.
Her cheeks burned. âIâm sorry. I just feel neurotic right now.â
Addy nodded and stepped close. âItâs normal. Youâve not only been through a savage beating, but you have an ex-boyfriend making you feel unsafe. Anyone in your same situation would feel the same way.â
Her eyes watered slightly. âI only seem to feel safe when Spencer is here. I feel stupid saying this, but I locked myself in my bedroom after he left and didnât leave until Maya texted.â
Addy linked an arm through hers and nodded. âSpencer is a great protector. Plus, his size alone makes him formidable. And he likes you, so that makes a difference, too.â
She nodded, and they sauntered up the steps. âHow do you know he likes me?â
Addy giggled. âItâs impossible not to see it.â
She swallowed the lump in her throat. What did that look like and how could others see it? She knew he wanted to have sex with her, but she didnât know he liked her. Well, the fact that he wanted to have sex with her would mean he liked her. But she wondered if it meant he liked her, liked her, or did he just like her and want to have sex with her? She would not ask Addy that question, but she wondered.
At the top of the steps she looked around at the food the ladies had laid out on the table. Then she saw the reusable containers sitting on the counter and realized Helissa probably packed them food.
