The house felt cold, even with the heaters on. Dinner with Black had been a nightmare of silence. He didn't speak to me, and I didn't look at him. I had just finished a hot bath, hoping to wash away the stress of the day and the memory of Rain's betrayal.
The brothers —they had tried to reach me, but I just dropped them a simple “I'm fine” text, and I think they got the message to let me be.
I pulled on my pajamas and climbed into bed, ready to let the day die.
Beep. It was my phone.
I picked it up. It was a text from Rain.
Rain: I’m outside.
I stared at the screen, my heart doing a painful thud against my ribs.
Ok, I missed the part where I should say the brothers Rex and River had let me be. But Rain hadn't.
I turned the phone face down and pulled the duvet over my head.
