When we finally arrived back at the Pit, the place felt strangely empty.Usually, the bar was never this quiet. There was always someone moving around, music playing somewhere in the background, or the sound of men arguing over cards and drinks.Tonight, there was nothing.I remembered the instructions I’d given Grim before leaving. He was supposed to take everyone to my father’s house and keep them there until we were certain Reaper couldn’t reach them.For once, the silence didn’t bother me.It meant they were safe.Ava stepped out of the vehicle and stretched her arms above her head.“I’m making you something to eat.”I looked at her.“You don’t have to.”“I know.”She walked toward the entrance.“I’m doing it anyway.”I followed her inside, unable to stop the small smile that appeared on my face.After everything we’d been through, watching Ava fuss over me felt almost unreal.She moved around the kitchen, putting together something simple while I went upstairs to clean myself up.
