Kapitel 93: _ Come Over

My fingers fumbled with the lock for what felt like an eternity before the door finally clicked open, revealing the cool and usual interior of my apartment. Liam practically bounced past me, Kylo following close behind.

Kylo's gaze swept across the living room, taking in the slightly cluttered space – books piled precariously on the coffee table, a half-finished cup of tea abandoned on the end table, the throw rug askew from Liam's enthusiastic play earlier. It was a snapshot of our life together. The usual days – how we'd all spend our days here and have fun.

Until Gamma Rhett came along and ruined everything. This life – it was a life that now felt like a faraway dream.

Kylo turned his gaze to me and I froze. What if he saw the mark?

I should really do something soon. Relief washed over me when he quickly averted his gaze. Maybe he hadn't noticed the mark yet.
