You still want it?”I really should just go home, but… my stomach rumbled. A
Laila’s POVI didn’t want to meet Carter wearing Jason’s clothes, so I had the guards take me home first, where I took a very cold shower and changed. Hannah was still avoiding me, but agreed nonetheless when I asked her to babysit. Though Ava’s guards were doing most of the heavy lifting.Ava had t

I’m offering.”“I’m f-fine,” she said, but her voice wavered.“Don’t worry about anything,” I told her. “You get your shower. I’ll keep you safe.”Again, she
