The house looks like the kind youâd see on a jigsaw puzzle. A quant little place, almost like a cottage, tucked back between towering oak trees, surrounded with shrubbery and wildflowers. It was a bit of a mess but held a wild quality that felt somewhat fantastical.
âItâs lovely,â Ma says from the seat beside me.
I tried to get her to ride up front with Rob, but she was set on sticking by my side. I canât say that I blame her after everything.
Bodhi emerges from the house as we pull up, smiling brightly. Butterflies erupt in my stomach, and I place my hand over my abdomen to calm the fluttering. Itâs been happening ever since he told me he loves me. Every time I see him, like some lovesick teenager.
He comes around to my side of the car and opens the door for me.
âHey, beautiful,â he says, reaching in a tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear.
âHey,â I answer sleepily.
âLetâs get you inside,â he says before reaching in to wrap an arm around my back, letting me lean into him for support.
My legs are sore from disuse, and my cast bound wrist rest securely in a sling over my chest. Iâm amazed that it was the only real injury I sustained. I know that Iâm beyond lucky to be alive. That day could have gone badly in a million different ways.
Sander pulls up behind Robâs car and jumps right in, offering to help carry my and Maâs bags inside.
He lifts his head and nods to Bodhi in greeting before letting his eyes flit toward my face, offering nothing more than a tight-lipped smile as he turns to follow everyone inside.
âHave you talked to him yet?â Bodhi whispers against the side of my head.
âNo,â I answer sheepishly.
I know that I need to, but I havenât really had a lot of time for myself these last few days. I donât want to rehash our fight in front of prying eyes.
âI think you should,â he says.
I pull my head to the side, peering up at him skeptically.
âSince when are you Team Sander?â I ask.
He chuckles, drawing me near, careful not to jostle my arm. âSince he pulled through with this entire situation and proved not to be a total dick.â
I snort, shaking my head. âYou two really did bond, didnât you?â
âDid you ever doubt me?â he asks.
âHonestly?â I ask, raising my brows.
We stop just outside the front door, and he turns me to face him, a serious look in his eyes, waiting for my answer.
âThere were days in the beginning when I hoped you wouldnât follow through. I hoped you would just forget that I existed and go on with your own life. But you never did. You always manage to come through, and despite some of the secrets that weâve both been guilty of keeping, you always hold to your word,â I say, taking his hand in mine and squeezing it.
He smiles down at me before reaching around the back of my neck and drawing me to him, kissing me slowly and sweetly.
