章節 53: Chapter 53 - Hollyn

I came back to myself in the dark. A soft beam of light came from the side of the room. It was also fully black outside. Rain still beat against the wall of windows, but it was softer. Slower.

As if the weather had learned my mood, read my memories, it commiserated with me. It wept as I had wept that day. No tears had washed me clean. Nothing but the love from the man, the men, I'd crashed into. Barreled into their lives as if I were a gale, and they were the innocent trees of my forest.

I was in the giant bed. Alone. Were all beds this comfy?

"Hello?"

The room was empty except for me. The bathroom light was on. Tears filled my eyes as I thought of Thane doing that so I wouldn't wake in the complete black. He'd watched out for me ever since that first night.

Hello? I called out with my mind.

Three knocks sounded on the bedroom door.

"Who is it?" I asked, even knowing who stood outside. My men.
