“Fuck,” I muttered, shaking my head even though the staples screamed at my scalp. “Fair enough.”

We didn’t say shit for a minute or two while I sipped the lukewarm soup, letting the heat crawl through my chest and take the edge off the constant goddamn ache—just a fraction, but I’d take it.

Then the door opened.

I glanced over, half-expecting the night-shift nurse with the bleach-blonde pixie cut who always hit me with the pain-scale, or maybe that twitchy phlebotomist who’d already turned both

    "Then what happened?” I asked.Anyone could see there was way more to their story.“Hm.”She took her time, tipping the last of the wine around the bottom of the glass and watched it slide."Honestly, for a while nothing, and that was probably why I convinced myself that I'd pulled him out and now he was just a person. But you can't scrub that much out of somebody."She touched the side of her head, just above the temple.“Then one night, we got robbed. It wasn’t even a proper heist, just some guy with a gun who clearly hadn’t thought his plan through, which was probably why I wasn’t scared. I’ve seen truly terrifying men in my life, so to me, he looked like nothing more than a boy holding a knife.”She scoffed out a soft laugh.“It didn’t help that I was wasted and must have said something to set him off, because the next thing I knew, he hit me. I remember crashing to the floor, hearing the grunt of a struggle, and then a string of hurried apologies. By the time my head stopped thro

    "To answer that, we have to take a trip down memory lane. I should start by saying I didn't choose this kind of life, which is important, because it's the very reason we met in the first place.”She turned the glass in her fingers as she went on. "I was born into this life through my father, who ran the organization's entire armory, and he treated it like a family business, which I guess it was. Dinner table conversations about shipments and birthdays where men with guns showed up with presents. It never struck me as odd, because to me that was just what my father did."She snorted. "Anyway, he died when I was twenty-two. Heart issues which was hilarious, because the man spent thirty years pissing off people who wanted him dead and it was a fucking artery that got him"I'm sorry,” I let out, not knowing what else to say."Oh, don't be, I barely had time to be sad, I got handed the whole business the next week.” She took a sip. “Oh.”She nodded. “Yeah.”I leaned against the brick an

    He turned half away from me to answer, pacing to the far rail with the phone against his ear, and his back facing me, deliberately, I think. I don't know if that was kindness or cowardice. It was probably both.With James it usually was.Did I move too fast? Everything felt so natural, but now I’m wondering if I completely misread the situation.I leaned against the wall where he'd been and let my head tip back against the cold brick, and I finally took that drag I'd been holding off on, which was a mistake, because it burned all the way down and made my eyes sting again, only this time I couldn't blame it all on the smoke. I felt so fucking lost.He glanced back over his shoulder, still talking low into the phone. Our eyes met and locked, suspending the space around us. There was a fleeting, almost-sorry look across his face. Come on, I begged silently. Say something. Anything.But he didn't. He just looked away, said "Yeah, I'm coming" to whoever was on the other end, and walke

    It hit wrong the second it reached my lungs and I coughed out, turning my face just enough that I did not blow the smoke straight back at him, my grip on his fingers tightening through it. He went quiet for a beat, then let out a low chuckle, disbelieving more than amused.“Christ,” he let out, still holding the cigar between us because I had not released his hand. “You don’t even smoke.”I coughed again, eyes watering but I forced the words out anyway. “You can’t take it back so I’m staying.”He chuckled and his free hand came up to rub over my hair, a rough, absent pass that messed it up. It surprised me enough that my grip on his other hand loosened. He used that. Slipped free, brought the cigar back to his own mouth, and took another drag, smoke slipping past his lips while he looked at me over it.“Stubborn,” he said, then reached up with his free hand and wiped the light tears the cough had left at the corners of my eyes, thumb brushing once under each of them. "You're welco

    RILEY°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・I followed him out, and the men stationed along the hallway straightened when they saw James and then, a beat later, registered me trailing behind him. I nodded at the one nearest the stairwell, and he nodded back without asking where I was going. James took the turn at the end of the hall, pushed through the side door that led onto a little concrete landing and by the time I stepped out after him he was already in the corner with a cigar between his fingers.“You’re not fine, are you.”It came out less like a question. He let out a breath of smoke and exhaustion, then turned his head just enough to look at me.“You followed me here.”“Yeah.”He took another drag, eyes sliding off me and out over the people below. “I’m fine.”Yup, I’d be fucking blind if I were to believe that. It was clear as day, yet he still won't budge.So I reached out, the back of my fingers brushing his forehead and then his temple, and the heat there made my stomach drop.He went still unde

    "Fine," he muttered under his breath, dragging a hand down his face. "You win.""Really?""Don't sound so shocked, it's insulting." He pushed himself up from the chair, a wince tightening the corner of his mouth as the movement pulled at the bandage beneath his shirt while he lowered himself onto the edge of the bed.Then he exhaled, leaning back against the pillows with obvious relief now that he wasn't fighting gravity anymore. "Are we good now?""Not even a little." I sat on the edge of the bed next to him."What else do you want me to do." He reached over, tugging lightly at my wrist until I shifted closer, letting my head rest against his shoulder even though I kept half an eye on the bandage. "Because I want you to stop worrying so damn much. You're gonna give yourself premature wrinkles."I rolled my eyes.His hand found my hand, lacing our fingers together loosely and we stayed like that for a while until I broke the silence."I spoke to them yesterday.”He didn't need to ask
