Novel & Cerita Finny Smith If He Had Been With Me

I could feel him smiling. This was the Finn I wanted to be with every day.

Everything I had been holding inside seemed to be released. ‘Cleo, I said to contact me if you needed me. If you were struggling, I wish you'd let me know. I would have been here as quickly as I could. I want to be here for you.’ Finn mindlinked. I could feel the weight of his stare upon me, and for once it made me feel uncomfortable.

"Since they're painful, then don't think about them. Why don't you think about all the good memories I've shared with you over the years?" Sabrina stood up and stared at him with her hands on her hips. Looking at her, Finnley smiled gently. He pulled her into his arms and rested his head against her stomach. His eyes became softer and softer. "It's so good to have you by my side. If it weren't for you, I might not have made it until now." Everything that happened in the past had been enough to make him completely despair. If he hadn't met Sabrina, he thought he might have committed suicide.

Still smiling, still refusing to give up even though so many would have given up long ago. It also filled me with a sense of pride. Nate accepted the two of us much like Solaris had. They really would have been wonderful mates. Sadly, it would need to be in another life. Finn reached out to me and placed his hand on mine, feeling the sadness creep into our bond. Nate wiggled his eyebrows at us. “Well, I need to one-up you two somehow.” I scoffed. “Please. At this point, Finn might already be carrying another one after our car fuck the other day.”

"He does have a way of drawing people in. Being your friend would have been enough for me, but you gave me something more. How could I deny that?" I smiled softly. Finley had a warm heart, and I was lucky to be his mate.

I felt like shit. I think a part of me died with Smitty that day.

FINN found me. After that long run, he found me and put me back to the palace he kept on bragging about. Honestly, Finn is not forcing me to come with him. I could easily push him away if I wanted to. I could tell him I needed some time to think and his presence is giving me a headache. The truth is, he's nothing but a support to me. However, this fight is on me. Killing numerous humans is in my hands and my decision to follow. No one should get involved only to get the punishment I was supposed to have.

“That’s why I’m telling you now: I’m not offering you a safety net. I’m offering a blank page. I want you to write your own story on it.” His words settled over me like a warm blanket, but at the same time, doubt coiled in my gut. Wasn’t that what Allen had promised, too? A future where I was his equal—until I wasn’t. The waiter returned with our drinks. I sipped my iced tea, my fingers trembling against the glass. “Do you want to order food?” Smith asked lightly, as if trying to break the heaviness that had fallen between us. “Maybe just a salad,” I said. “I don’t have much of an appetite lately.”

We both got down, and he opened the trunk to take out my bag. “Thank you.” I told him, offering a small smile. His smile did not reach his eyes. Poor guy. He had to live thinking he failed his sister. Meanwhile, someone else should have been carrying that burden. “If you need a drink or want to talk, call me.” he smirked. “Finn, I’m not playing.” I looked over my shoulder at Levi when he came out. God, I missed that man. I shifted my attention to Finn. “Make sure you call me.”

Smith and Miss Serena. I heaved a sigh of relief as I saw them there. With them in front of my eyes, I was able to push past the fear and just get on with what I came to do. Finn already sat on the rolling chair and was operating the computers. He inserted a cord into his phone and I was shocked to see that the footage started to display on his phone too. “What did you do?” I asked, awed, as I placed my hand on the arm on the chair and I leaned in closer to see what he was doing.
