Flicking my wrist, the wetness flew from my fingertips. I wouldn’t let myself continue down this line of thinking. That stopped now. Without another thought, I pressed my chest against Shane and buried my face into his back.
He stilled as I wrapped my arms around his torso and gave him a hug. Had Mavy given him a hug since he’d been back or were they at odds because he killed their parents? I couldn’t see Mavy hating him but I could understand if she did.
Nothing had changed and nothing was going to change. I would not be swayed. I couldn’t promise him anything but my heart ached for me to give him this one kindness. I squeezed him tight.
This was getting out of hand and fast. Not only did I need to get a grip on myself but also on my emotions. There wasn’t any room for this newfound pity and there sure as hell wasn’t any room for it in the plan.
