CHAPTER EIGHT

EDEN TEXTED HIM AGAIN, so Micah walked into the lounge where Quinn had sat down to catch her breath when they’d arrived back at his villa.

She might sound chipper, but she was still drugged up and sore all over. In the time it had taken him to explain to his housekeeper that a room should be prepared, Quinn had tucked herself into the corner of a wingback chair and had fallen fast asleep.

He’d thought about carrying her up to a bedroom, but aside from worrying he would put too much pressure on her shoulder, he liked that he was able to walk in here and check that she was breathing and comfortable.

It had been nearly two hours, though. He brushed his knuckle against her soft cheek and watched her eyelids flutter in confusion.

“If you sleep much longer, you won’t sleep tonight.”

“I beg to differ.” She straightened and winced, yawned. Her hair fell in her face and she brushed it away, but it wasn’t in a mood to behave. “Those painkillers could drop a bull elephant.”

She wore one rolled-back sleeve of his shirt, since it had been the easiest item for her to put on around the contraption she wore. Her bottoms were her own boxer-style pajama shorts in pink and green. She should have looked ridiculous, but he had to tear his eyes off her bare legs and the freckles peeking from the open collar of his shirt.

“Thanks.” She took the phone and it connected as he reached the door.

“Is she—Oh, it’s you!”

“It’s me,” Quinn said sheepishly. “I’m fine. I look like twenty miles of dirt road, but I was only knocked, like, ten feet.”

“Don’t make jokes. You scared me. I’m so glad Micah was there. What if you’d been stuck in a hospital and I didn’t even know?”

That question had been repeating in Micah’s head all this time, along with a thousand other thoughts and reactions to news about his other sister. He’d been agitated last night after that news. Freshly furious with his father—he’d been angry with that man his whole life—and deeply chagrined at the hostility he’d shown toward Remy. Eden had explained that Remy’s family had been worried Micah’s father would try to claim Yasmine if he knew about her. They’d hidden the truth of her DNA even from her, but all that meant was that his father had yet again dodged taking responsibility for his actions. It fell to Micah to do it.

And there was Quinn, knowing that intensely private information about him, holding it in and navigating his anger while she protected his sister. He hadn’t known how to make sense of that, of
