After dropping Faye off at home and promising to text her when I get back, I snuggle into Asher’s side in the warm, dark car. He kisses my head, and as the streetlights flash across us, he leans down to my ear. “We’ve never had anyone protect us, claim us, or threaten people for us before. It’s always the other way around. It was nice. You’re changing our lives, Blair, for the better.”
