I fell into Race as he scooped me up into his arainst mine

“I tried to call you to warn you about hiet ahold of you, and Dovie wasn’t answering the phone Thank God you’re okay”

I squeezed hiot closer and closer

“I don’t think I’ll ever be okay again”

All I could think about was the tragedy that could have been avoided all the way around It was heartbreaking

“What are we going to do about him?”

I didn’t even want to use Drew’s na as si to him I cuddled into Race’s embrace even harder and felt his hand rub over my hair

“Bax called Titus already He knows about the stalking and the attempts on your life so he’s on the way and will take care of everything Don’t worry, Brysen I know I’ve done a shitty-ass job so far, but I promise to take care of you”

I snorted a little into his neck “You’ve done a better job taking care of me than anyone else ever has, Race You can’t be everywhere at once, and ould’ve predicted Dreould go after Dovie? He was crazy, and it’s unfortunate he kind of had a reason to be”

I think he was going to say so back but just then a swaruy who looked like a slightly older, more polished version of Bax strode into the roooing on He had bright blue eyes that looked like they had seen everything and nothing would surprise him anymore He mechanically searched out Bax and Dovie then landed on me and Race

“Every single tiency, Bax, I expect you to be the one with bullets in you by the time I show up”
