Chapter 129: Chapter 129: HEARTACHE: VALERIE

My head throbbed as I watched Flynn and Lee leave the safety of his house. I hadn't been thinking straight when I agreed to him going elsewhere and when he'd insisted on going instead of me. He was right, the house was big enough that we could have had separate wings, and we'd never have seen each other, but I'd felt so hurt, and I was mad as hell at how fate had stepped in again to mess with my happiness.

Instead of me seeing sense and us both staying put, I had the added worry that I'd made Flynn vulnerable because he was famous and I'd cast him out of his home to stay somewhere else. Lee had promised to keep him safe, and instead of a hotel he'd taken him to his place. The same one we'd briefly gone to when Iria had tried to damage Flynn's reputation.
