It’s so damn hard but I manage. If I’m focused on her pleasure, I can make sure that she comes first.

But I was blindsided. I didn’t see it coming.

And she used it against me.

And now I’m mad, because I came, and she didn’t.

“I came more than a dozen times over the night,” she tells me with a smile. “Don’t start blaming yourself for this. I’ll be back in our bed tonight.”

Ourbed.

She saidourbed.

Just like that, I’m feeling good again.

I’m feeling better than good.

I’ll make her sit on my face tonight and everything will be better.

Dad is awake.

It’s like all the stars in the sky aligned the same night.

Technically, it wasn’t all the same night, but since I slept over a day, it feels like it.

The new Michaël is dead. Hopefully, Gabrielle will never wake up from her coma.

Léandre is safe, and he loves me.

He also thoroughly ravished me all night.

And I’m going to see my dad while smelling like sex.

I should be ashamed, or at least self-conscious, but I couldn’t care less.

I’m happy.

Yes, I’m so freaking happy.

I might have started a war two days ago, but everything is going to be alright.

I have my family. I have my friends. I have Léandre.

Together we can win anything.

I open my dad’s bedroom door, and I find the doctor inside.

“Slowly,” he tells my dad, as he inclines the medical bed to a sitting position.

He still has his eyes closed, but the grunts the doctor gets as an answer is the only thing I need to know it’s true.

Dad is finally out of his coma.

I feel like crying with joy.
