Devin

I settle into the back of the cab and try to wrap my head around everything that’s happened today as the snow continues to fall on the streets of New York City. Everyone is just going about their business as they head toward their weekend of last-minute shopping and holiday festivities, none the wiser that so much shit has happened in the lives of others today. No psychos trying to burn off their face or fake girlfriends who want to check on you.

Seeing Arianna threw me for a loop, but with everything else happening, I didn’t have time to overthink her presence. I had no idea she was in the waiting room until I was being wheeled toward the exit in a wheelchair. Sebastian explained she’d come with him and Jax, but he’d forgotten all about her in his haste to find out what was going on with me. She was nice and polite. She said she just wanted to make sure I was all right. Then she was gone. It was all very surreal.

My focus quickly shifted from her as soon as I felt the cold winter air on my cheeks as we exited the hospital. I couldn’t help but look around, wondering if Crystal was just around the corner... watching... waiting. I practically scrambled into the idling taxi.

“Thank you for coming to the hospital,” I tell Sebastian, glancing over at him, unsure of what happens next as I try to divert my attention from the fact Crystal could be anywhere.

He sighs. “You don’t have to thank me.”

“I feel like I do, though. I don’t know... my emotions are all over the place. It feels like I’ve lived a year in the span of one day.” Looking away from him, I stare out the window, watching as the cars go by. “Arianna seems nice.”

“She is.” He places a hand on my thigh, then uses the other to turn my head toward him with a long finger under my chin. “What’s wrong, Devin? Talk to me. You’ve been bouncing your leg since we got in, and you seem very uneasy. I can’t help you if you don’t talk to me. Are you in pain? Does your head hurt?”

I take a deep breath and try to form a coherent sentence that will make sense of the mess in my head. “She could be anywhere, Sebastian. If you’re right and this has been her from the beginning, she’s been stalking you for months. She knows where you live, your schedule, everything. She could be lurking anywhere, waiting to strike again. What happens if next time it’s a gun or a knife or more fucking acid?”

He rubs his hand up and down my thigh. “Relax, princess,” he coos. “She can’t get into my building, remember? You’re safe there.”

“Are you sure you even want me to come back to your place?” I ask between deep breaths as I stare at his handsome features, hoping they’ll ease the swell of panic inside me. “I wouldn’t be mad if you said no.
