Storm: book 2
“Alone. I stand in his doorway, confused, terrified. There’s no one else I can turn to.“Come in,” he says. Concern flushes his face.I walk in. It’s quiet. The television is off. He’s not playing music. My words stammer. “I know you said you don’t want me in your life but—”“That’s not what I meant.”“Can I just stay here tonight?”“Absolutely. Did something happen? You don’t look okay.”“Nothing. I’m just…it’s nothing. Maybe I should go. I don’t want to intrude.”“No, it’s okay. Please.”Our eyes lock.... My heartbeat settles. All it takes is his look to let me know I’m protected, that I’m safe with him. Regardless of what we are at this point, I know he’d never let anyone or anything harm me.My throat is tight as our gaze is still held. Every emotion floods through me. Pain, defeat, fear. My breaths are tight and constricted. I don’t know what we are or what he sees me as but I don’t care. I just want to be in his arms, defended from everything that I’m dealing with.MoreLess
