Chapter 68

Sloane

Malachi came back after dark.

I heard the door open but didn’t look up.

I was sitting near the fire with one leg tucked beneath me, staring at a book I hadn’t turned a page of in almost an hour.

The mark on my neck still hurt.

Not constantly anymore. Mostly when I moved wrong, when fabric brushed against it, or when I remembered exactly how it got there.

Rhea had spent most of the day alternating between furious silence and restless awareness of Malachi somewhere beyond the room.

I wasn’t sure which was worse.

The door shut behind him. He crossed the room without speaking and poured himself a drink. 

I kept my eyes on the book.
