Lena POV

Over the next few days, Willow fussed over me like a mother hen.

She made my meals herself, ensured I was fed and bathed, and always had clean clothes. When she wasn't busy, she'd sit by my bedside and knit while she listened to me talk.

I should have felt smothered by herself attention, but it was like having a mother again. I liked Willow instantly — her steady presence was like a pillar of order in the midst of all the terrible stuff that had happened.

She also helped me deal with my memories. I didn't know how much she knew about memory erasure or the drug that David had used on me, but what she knew was plenty. Even with more of my memories returning each day, there were still blank spaces, and some events were only foggy recollections. Willow made sure I wrote everything down, and then we would talk about them together.

If there was a downside to having Willow parent me, it was that she kept me from Nathan because she

  • The Vow I Never Took   Make Him Proud

    Nathan POVI took the stairs two at a time, my hurry urging me on like a compulsive song. Every step sent a jolt pulsing through my body, and I clenched my teeth. They'd found us. Of course, I knew that hiding here had always been a temporary solution. It was one of the properties I owned, bought under the name of a shell company, and located just outside the city. It offered anonymity and was just out of the way, perfect to hide out. And…And it hadn't been enough. All it'd taken was for Richard to walk in to realise just how much danger I was in. Remembering that moment hurt. Watching, listening to someone I'd called father admitting to being part of a plan to kill me was the kind of thing that got to you. I thought I was hard. I thought I'd grown my calluses, buried what heart I had beneath a steel coffin of resolve and determination. One conversation with Richard, and all I could think about was having a father again.

  • The Vow I Never Took   A Mistake, Boys

    Nathan POVIf there was anything I liked about having my grandma around, it was how she made everything seem normal. I'd spent the last few months fighting for my life and the lives of the people I loved. I'd fought tooth and claw to keep my mother's legacy alive, and to protect Lena, Adrian, and Grace as best as I could. The tension was ever present, like a rod stuck up my spine. My grandma just made all of it disappear. It was in the way she acted. The world could be ending, the sky could be raining brimstone, and she'd fuss over you for not shampooing your hair. The nagging was frankly exhausting, but it made life seem normal, if for a time. What I enjoyed most was her relationship with Lena. It was the first time I saw my grandmother get so quickly taken with someone. I would pass the hallway of Lena's room, and I'd hear their voices as they talked about whatever movie they were watching (probably a Korean series). They

  • The Vow I Never Took   Foggy

    Lena POV“Now, let's get you into bed, shall we? You've not recovered from your little episode, and I'd hate for my grandson to accuse me of killing you.” Willow snapped her fingers, ordering me to bed. Her tone told me that she didn't expect disobedience, and if there was anything I was surprised by, it was just how quickly I obeyed. “There,” she said, walking to stand at the side of my bed. Her hands disappeared into one of her pockets, and she pulled out a penlight. She turned it on and flashed it into my eyes, inspecting God knows what. “Looks good. You don't seem as delirious as you were some hours ago. You might actually remember this evening.”“Some hours ago? What are you talking about?”“This is the sixth time you've woken up since Nathan found you. It's also the third time we're having this conversation. I tried explaining the first time, but you didn't remember anything I said when we talked a second time.”

  • The Vow I Never Took   It Meant I Was Safe

    Lena POVI opened my eyes. Slowly, the ceiling filled my entire vision. I groaned. There was a dull pain tingling beneath my temple. Compared to the headache that made me pass out, it was milder, but it was still annoying. I tried to move, and my legs got dangled within the sheets. Underneath, I was topless, wearing only my underwear. The bed I was in was mine — or at least the one I used while I stayed with Nathan. The thought calmed me immediately. If I was here, then it meant I was safe. The window was open, and a cool breeze wafted into the room, stirring the curtains. Outside, I could see the evening sky, the sun buried deep within an orange-tinged horizon. Evening? My thoughts slammed to a jolt. How long had I been out?My jaw felt sore, like I'd gotten punched in it. Thinking was difficult; my thoughts moved glacially, like oil sucked through a straw. I tried to climb out of the bed, and I only managed to ta

  • The Vow I Never Took   I Worry For Him

    Lena POV Walking into the office building after so long felt like walking inside a dream. I drew in a deep breath, trying to calm myself. Everything looked so familiar, but so much had changed as well. Being here was reckless, as Nathan had tried to convince me, but it was also important. If we were going to beat Isabella and her goons, we needed allies and all the help we could. As I walked past the offices, I felt an odd sense of nostalgia. Until recently, being here had calmed me. Now all I could feel was worry for Nathan. He'd only agreed to let me come here on the condition that he accompanied him. The idea was that he would stay hidden, and try not to make any fuss. I longed to be in his arms, to have him whisk me away to a place where our lives weren't in danger. It was a silly thought, the thought of a girl, but it persisted. “Lena?” I turned. “David?” He let out a lo
