CHAPTER SIXTEEN

The next morning, I feel like someone worked me over with a baseball bat.

Groaning, I stretch and roll over, bumping into Marcel. “You’re here.”

“Where else would I be, Sunshine?”

“I woke up last night, and you were gone.” I hesitate for a second, hating that I sound so needy. “Was everything okay?”

Marcel pulls me into his arms, and I take refuge against his warm, bare skin. “I couldn’t sleep, so I went downstairs. I didn’t want to wake you up.”

“Oh.”

Marcel must sense my unease or doubt. He brushes the hair off my forehead. “Look at me. I went downstairs and talked to Z. That’s it.”

I don’t want him to think I don’t trust him. Not after everything he’s done for me. “I trust you. Yesterday was so—”

“Your uncle put a lot in your head. I get it.” He throws the covers back and taps my leg. “Come on. You must be hungry. Let’s get you fed.”

“Ugh, if anything, I feel sick.”

“Even more reason to get up and face the day.”

“You’re mean.”

Marcel ignores my reluctance, and thirty minutes later I find myself downstairs about to sit down and have breakfast with Z, and two other brothers whose names I don’t remember.

“How are you feeling today, sweetheart?” Z asks.

“Like a truck full of baseball bats ran me over,” I answer as Marcel pushes in my chair.

Z seems to read the uncertainty in my expression correctly. “Charlotte, I don’t know if you met him before, but this is Dex,” he says, tipping his head toward the bigger guy sitting next to him. “And that’s Ravage.”

Both of them give me a nod and tell me they’re sorry about what happened. No one even pretends that they don’t know about my uncle’s attack. It’s oddly refreshing.

As we’re finishing breakfast, Hope and Trinity join us.

After we go through the whole how are you this morning ritual, Hope asks, “Do you know when you can go back to your apartment?”

To my surprise, Marcel has an answer. “Liam is supposed to call me when her place has been cleared.”

Trinity reaches over and squeezes my hand. “Let me know when, and I’ll come over and help you.”

“Thank you.”
