“You’re quiet, Ice.”

Ellie flips over to her side, stretching one leg over my waist, her hand on my shoulder, her head burrowed against my neck.

“I’m sorry, Liam.I just…” She gives a heavy sigh, before struggling to find the words to finish.“My sister is a mess.”

“Wolf is good at fucking with people’s minds.She’ll heal,” I tell her, although I’m not completely sure.I do think she will get better, but I’m not sure how anyone gets over seeing someone they love murdered.

“Maybe…” Ellie says, dragging her finger through the hair on my chest.“The police aren’t going to find Wolf, are they?”

“There won’t be anything left of him for them to find,” I tell her.“But, they will try.He’s wanted for the murders of Reginald Cleary and Glenna.They’ll investigate until they can’t find any leads.”

“They won’t see the fight at the back of the hotel on surveillance cameras of the hotel or the surrounding buildings?”

“Nope,” I tell her, not elaborating.There’s no point.“Why are you so worried?”

“I don’t want you to get in trouble.Any of you really.Wolf has already ruined enough of Devil’s life.I don’t want anything else to happen.”

“Trust me, Ice.It’s going to be okay.”

“Do you think Dawn is telling the truth?”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know.Something just seems off, Liam.”

“She’s been through some heavy shit, Ellie.You can’t really judge her right now.I think she might still be in shock.”

“Yeah, maybe.”

“Is there something you want to tell me, Ellie?”

“I don’t know anything, not really.It’s just, I can’t get it out of my head at the way Dawn was cleaning off the murder weapon.Is that normal?”

“Fuck if I know, Ellie.Dawn lived through a nightmare.I have no idea what normal would be after that.”

“You’re right.She’s not talking to me, so maybe that’s what has me all screwed up.She even asked me to leave her alone.I just don’t know what to do.”

“I know it sucks, Ice, but you can’t do anything.You just leave her alone and let her work shit out.She’ll either reach out to you or she won’t.”

“That answer sucks, Liam.”

“I know, baby.”

“So, what comes next?”She asks and I let out a sigh.

“I’m going to need to go back to Tennessee, Ellie.”

“We knew this day was coming,” she says, and the sadness in her voice hurts.

“You said you’d come back with me,” I remind her.

“Liam, I can’t just leave right now.”

We shift on the bed so that I can look at her.I want to see her face and more importantly, I want her to be able to see mine.I need to try and reach her.
