Chapter 84

"You can go home if you want, dear," suggests Hillary, freeing Colton and stroking my hair very slowly. She casts a sharp look at her ex-husband. "We will not be sure of anything until Penelope is aware, and this includes any discussion that has happened before all.”

Jon snorts, laughing with sweet irony. He will never stop blaming me for this, Penelope recovering or not. I don't feel good about it at all.

"I want to wait for news from Pen," I imprint, getting rid of Hunter's arms.

Crossing his arms over his chest, Hunter looks at me from above and wrinkles his nose as he looks at my skirt.

"There's blood on your clothes.”

I also look down, spontaneously retreating my legs away from the trail of a dry red on the bar, very close to my knees "also stained with blood.

"Well, I stretch my tongue," I can clean myself in the bathroom, but nothing will take me out of this hospital until someone tells me that Penelope is awake and asking for a piece of pizza.
