Safe People の小説・ストーリー

“Your brain knows what your heart is too scared to admit. Lucas is your future. Adrian is your past. And you can’t build a life looking backward.” “But I broke down in his arms. Adrian’s. At the coffee shop. And it felt like home.” “Of course it did.” Clara strokes my hair. “Trauma often feels like home when that’s what you’re used to. But Serena, home shouldn’t hurt. Home shouldn’t require you to shrink yourself or walk on eggshells or wonder if today is the day everything falls apart again.” “Lucas makes me feel safe.” “Exactly. And after everything you’ve survived, safe is revolutionary.” She pulls back to look at me. “Stop treating safe like it’s boring or settling. Safe is a gift. Safe

"I'm not going anywhere." "What about the bad men?" Troy asked, his voice barely audible from where he was pressed against the pillow. "Are they coming back?" "No," I said firmly and with certainty so that they would believe me and feel a lot more safer. "They're not coming back. There are good people watching the house tonight, making sure everyone stays safe." "Like superheroes?" Soren asked, still mostly asleep. "Like superheroes," I confirmed, smiling despite everything. "Very tough superheroes who protect little boys and their families."

"You think you won? You think you can just slide a few pieces of paper across a mahogany table and erase what you are?" ​Ryan didn't flinch. He didn't even step back. He simply shifted his weight, moving his large frame slightly to the left to completely shield Vennessa from Claire’s erratic movements. His grey eyes were entirely devoid of emotion—cold, flat, and lethal. ​"You're trespassing Claire," Ryan said, his voice a low, dangerous baritone that made the air in the corridor feel instantly thinner. "I suggest you leave before my security detail ensures your arrest is syndicated on the afternoon news alongside Lucas's."

He exhaled behind her, the sound of a man trying to keep his patience with a crazy person.

“But for now, we keep you safe while we hunt him down.” They moved us that night. A convoy of unmarked vehicles took us to a secure safe house outside the city—a nondescript building with reinforced windows and 24/7 security. Tate, Beck, Merrick, and Elodie came with us. The core group that had survived everything with us refused to be separated. The safe house had two connected bedrooms on the upper floor. Medical equipment had been brought in. Physical therapists would visit daily. It wasn’t home, but it was safe. For now.

Luca said quietly. Marcus’s gaze flicked to him, then back to me. “Are they touching you?” His voice darkened. “Are they making you think you’re safe?” “I am safe,” I whispered, though my legs were shaking. His jaw tightened. “You don’t get to decide that.” Something inside me snapped at that. “I don’t get to—?” My voice cracked but I forced it steady. “You don’t get to decide that anymore.” The room went still.

Whatever you need, we are here for you.”
