We walk onto the deck. Quinny hasn’t answered anyone’s texts all day, but Trent let us know that she was okay.

As I get outside, my eyes search for her; she’s curled up on Paxton’s lap, and I instantly know she’s been crying.

Glancing at the table, I feel the blood drain from my face and double-take at what I’m seeing.

“Shit, fuck, bollocks, Trick, you weren’t meant to see that.

I’m sorry,” Quinny shoots forward, closing the laptop and the pad.

I look at her and she’s crying again, Paxton is still holding her, but I sit next to them, pulling her towards me and from the pained groan Paxton gives, it's pushing her ass into his cock

“you’re writing you’re life story Quinny, it helps when you sketch things when the words don’t come to you, I just wasn’t expecting to see that face looking at me, you need to have one of us here when your writing that shit, Quinny your bad dreams are finally settling let us be here for you please” she nods her head, and pulls in some shaky breaths.

“I didn’t think it would hit me that hard”, she whispers.

Pax is stroking her back, and I can see Ren and Creed twitching, wanting to comfort her.

I tilt her chin, giving her a small kiss.

There’s a taste of coffee; I’m guessing Pax claimed a kiss, but her sweetness still shines through.

I keep it short, but we both burst out laughing when Bram and River put on awful Jamaican accents and started singing ‘Kiss da Girl’ from The Little Mermaid.

“Assholes”, I murmur, which sets Quinny off in a giggle fit. Meh, it's better than tears. She excuses herself, nipping the laptop and pads inside.

“Thanks for being there for her, man,” I say to Pax. I know he’s her mate, too, but still, he gives me a side glance.

“The sketch!” I nod at his words,

“That was the bitch from the cage? But who’s the guy?” Pax asks, but I can tell I don’t have to answer if it’s too hard for me to do so.

“Her husband”, I state coldly. He nods, grabs his phone, pushes a few buttons, and then presses it to his ear.

“Hey Mika, one of the guys from J and Ember's past is a customer, want me and Decon to pick him up? Decon’s just getting the address from the logbook?” My eyes go wide at his words, the thought she could have been that close to me or him to Quinny, his phone beeps.

“I’ll send you the address, see you there,” he hangs up sends another text then looks at my Twin, who just nods then steps in front of me pressing his forehead to mine, our twin link has never been what it was before I was sent away, Ren doesn’t understand why but Sune and I agreed not to reopen it just in case he is affected by our bad dreams. Pax pats my shoulder, and they then head inside.

I hear Quinny moan, so I’m guessing she gets goodbye kisses.
