Chapitre 680: I Didn’t Even Think To Try

Stefan had spent two weeks in the hospital after returning to Winter. Alice had sat with him for a few hours each day.

The first week he was asleep through her visits, but she would still read to him or tell him about her day. Sometimes Sadie would come with her, and they would take turns talking to Stefan or chatting amongst themselves.

Alice thoroughly enjoyed hearing Sadie talk about her Dad and Daddy. Once or twice the men had been in the room as Sadie spoke of them. When Sadie called them by their new titles, Alice had seen Myka's warm and proud smile. And though he tried to hide it, she had also seen Peter's shy, equally proud smile.

Seeing how well they all got along warmed her heart. Alice had known for a long time that Sadie belonged with them. Peter had become attached to Sadie almost the moment he met her, even though he didn’t realize it himself.
