Chapter 11

Happiness. I don’t remember the last time I felt truly happy. Satisfied, yes. But this thrill, this feeling of weightlessness filling my whole body, is completely foreign. I look down at Bianca who’s snuggled into my side, her hand on my chest, and one leg tucked between mine, and my heart warms.

“I have to get up,” I whisper and place a kiss at the top of Bianca’s head. “Sisi will be here with Lena in half an hour.”

She looks up at me, smiles, and reaches for my hand to inspect my fingers. Satisfied the Band-Aids are still in place, she sits up and motions for me to turn around. The window shades are rolled up and the whole room is bathed in light, putting every mark on my skin on full display. Still, I turn onto my stomach, and looking at the window, I wait.

She places her palm on my lower back and slowly moves her hand upward, her touch impossibly light. I feel a tingling sensation when her hair falls onto my skin, and then her lips, placing a kiss between my shoulder blades where the scarring is the worst.

“Please . . . don’t do that.”

The tingling sensation travels upward as the tips of her hair tease the skin just below my shoulder, and she bends and whispers in my ear, “Why?”

“Jesus, baby, how can you even ask?”

“I like . . . you, Mikhail,” she says, her voice barely audible. “Every . . . single . . . part . . . of you.”

The last word gets lost, and the only thing I hear are her short breaths as the chill runs down my spine. I spring up to a sitting position, cradle her face in my palms, and hope I’m wrong. “It hurts when you speak, doesn’t it?”

She looks at me, and nods.

I close my eyes and kiss her forehead. I should be put down like the asshole I am. A selfish, lying asshole who made her hurt herself for no reason.

“You will never do that again.” I put my finger on her lips. “Promise me.”

Her face falls, but she nods again, making me feel even worse. Fuck. I get up from the bed, put my pants on, and stand in front of the window, looking at the people hurrying about on the sidewalk below. She’ll hate me.

I put my hands at the back of my head and take a deep breath. “I need to tell you something.”
