A Safe Space (Someone Else's Fairytale book 4)
“KYRA CALLS out when I get home.
I head straight for my room and shut the door.
“You okay?” comes her muffled voice.
“I’m fine,” I holler back.
I peel back the covers of my bed and climb in. Then I grab one stuffed animal after another and wedge them against my body until I feel like I’m in a cocoon. For most people, home is a safe space, but for me, it just feels like an empty void. With the covers pulled up over my head, I shut my eyes and finally escape from this day.
The next morning, I don’...t want to go to the gym, but I head there anyhow. Staying away would give Devon that much more power over me. It doesn’t help that I spent all last night dreaming about our kiss, about our fake moment of tenderness.
When I arrive, the first thing I notice is that his car isn’t in the parking lot. Well, Kyra did fire him as her personal trainer. He probably doesn’t have anyone else booked for this time yet, and that is a major relief.
As I go through the motions of changing, exercising, showering, and putting my regular clothes back on—minus my underwear—I can almost divorce my mind from my body and leave my body to do all these menial tasks while my mind drifts unencumbered.MoreLess
