“I’ll just…meet you at your place after I grab her. I can take an Uber or something.” My own words fill me with dread as I take a step back. A step away from the safety he offers. It’s not safe for him. It’s not safe for me. “No fucking way in hell you’re leaving my side.” He growls and my heart skips a beat. This can’t last. I’ll lean on him… but only for tonight. No matter how badly it hurts, I can’t put more people at risk.
