Better not be…
I probably shouldn't have brought that back up, because it will have only reminded Vanessa of those images in Angelique's shadow. But I don't plan on her getting any new images to ponder, which is why she is definitely being shielded from Angelique's shadow from now on.

Life is won in the smallest of our victories
But what about the little moments these heroes from our stories encounter—the moments when they are alone, faced with their own demons and shadows and insecurities? Judith would have had complicated, conflicting emotions, too.

You are so bad 🤭
"That's right. So if anyone crosses her, they don't just cross Ivan. They cross me. They cross Dominik. And I don't think anyone wants all three of us imagining that our woman is threatened. Do you?"
Urban · emme_z
Ah, you’re right!
This paragraph has been deleted.

Works for me
"Did you do something?" I ask, advancing on Ivan in a way I never have before and shoving him against the wall.

Or maybe this little light of mine
ch 120 Forced Song

"Guys?" A female voice calls, shattering the otherworldly moment. It's Angelique. "I have to pee."

Too little too late
"I'm sorry," he says, his chest quaking. "I am. I am really sorry. I had… I had no idea."
Urban · emme_z
Yes!! Heck yes!
God, I hope I didn't kill him. He doesn't answer, so I slowly open the stall door. I'm not sure what I expect to find—maybe remnants of him all over the bathroom. Instead, Ivan is standing there—pale—staring up into the air at the shadow surrounding him. It is his own, and apparently he can see it.

She needs to punch him where he’s already been punched
"Pull over," I say, now clearly understanding Ivan's motive for having me alone. He wants to get between Dominik and I.
Urban · emme_z
Yep. Had me there for a minute but the d-bag is back
"And don't get me wrong, Dom has had just about every woman," he chuckles, and my heart slowly sinks all the way down to my stomach where it feels like a heavy boulder starts to form. This is not the kind of information I want, but I can't bring myself to tell Ivan to stop either.

"It was Dominik, wasn't it?" He asks, no change in his emotion or expression. He's still smirking. "Dom is the one who interfered with the trafficking, right? If you two are… interested in each other…" his hand gestures toward the SUV we are following. "You wouldn't tell me. And it would make him more acceptable to you, I imagine. As a partner."
Urban · emme_z
😳 Is Ivan becoming a good guy ?? Or is he just scared of V??
"If being with me is too much, just let me know," he says before looking back out the windshield. "I'll call Dom and have him pull over so he can take you."
