Chapter 56
Aftermath
Paramedics swarmed. Lucas bled but breathing. Maddison wouldn’t let go of him. I didn’t blame her. My eyes were on Penny bandaged, scraped raw, chin still high.
“Pack your shit,” I told her.
She glared. “ Excuse me? ”
“You’re moving into the Tower. With me.”
***
I laughed, bitter. “Right, because being bait wasn’t humiliating enough, now I get to play house with the Fixer?”
He didn’t flinch. “No. Because you almost died. Because I won’t let it happen again. Let the bullets hit me instead.”
Something cracked in me. I wanted to scream, to shove him away. Instead I whispered, “Lucky I love you, Logan.”
***
My chest hurt worse than any fight. “No. Lucky I love you.”
I kissed her. Careful. Desperate. And in her eyes I saw it,the same look Maddison had for Lucas when she pulled him bleeding out of the fire.
Two women, two brothers, two kinds of salvation.
She stopped being my secret.
She became my home.
