I pressed my lips against Morgan’s hair. She fell asleep in my arms after crying her eyes out for more than an hour, but I dared not peel myself away.

So the Longtails killed her father. Los Diablos lore put the blame on La Muerta. We never suspected the Longtails.

This changed everything. The Desperados taking her prisoner never made any sense in the first place. Now the pieces started fitting into place. If they found out who she was or if one of them even caught a glimpse of her tat, they probably captured her to sell her to the Longtails. No other explanation fit the evidence.

I should get up. I should contact Carlos and tell him about this, but I couldn’t pry myself away from Morgan. She felt right in my arms. No one else could comfort her with this information. I was all she had.

She smelled good there under my nose. Every time I kissed her hair, I hoped I could impress some comfort and peace into her brain, into her being. Maybe no one would ever be able to do that again, but at least I could try.

She huddled in my arms making herself small and vulnerable. That was the first time since I first found her that she let herself show the slightest weakness. She worked overtime fighting everybody away. Now I understood why, but she didn’t fight me away—not anymore.

I resolved to stay here on this couch as long as she needed me. When she woke up, she might retreat behind her granite façade. I could handle that. For right now, she could hold onto me. She could sleep protected by one person who knew and understood what she was going through. I wouldn’t take that away from her.

She breathed easier with me here. Maybe I fooled myself into thinking I could change things for her, but I held this moment too precious to leave.

Over her head, I observed the dawn growing lighter outside. If she was right about the Longtails, they would be a thousand times more dangerous to her than The Desperados ever were. I had no reason to doubt her. She didn’t wake up screaming from that nightmare for the fun of it.

She breathed a gentle sigh in her sleep. A brief wave of tightness swept over her before she relaxed. When she did, she cuddled closer. She slipped her arms around my ribs and laid her ear against my heart.

Without meaning to, I lifted my hand and stroked her hair back. Could this be the same woman I cursed and fumed at yesterday? I knew too much about her now to stay mad at her.

The supple warmth of slumber faded from her and she rippled her body down the couch. She threw back her head and I came face to face with her countenance shining with inner light. Her cuts and bruises couldn’t disguise it. Her eyes drifted open and she looked up at me.

A feeling akin to reverence inundated my awareness. For a second, I didn’t know what to do.
