Desi’s chest tightened. She knew he was scared. His anger came from fear, but that didn’t excuse the way he was lashing out. "Lucas," she said, her voice softer now, "Lily needs more than just protection. She needs to live, to experience the world, or this… this constant fear will destroy her. Today was a mistake, yes, but that doesn’t mean locking her away is the answer."
