“Understood. Now, sit down and enjoy your food before it gets cold.” He sits down to eat, but I’m not hungry. All I can think about is my sweet girl in the other room. Tobias made me feel good about her reaction more than I already had. She needed me more than she let on when she was awake. My phone goes off, and it’s Danny.
“One minute,” I say to Tobias and stand to take the call. “Yes?”
“Just wondering if you’re staying or if I should wait for you?”
“No. I’m fine. I’ll be at her brother's home for now. Please take the SUV back and go to bed for the night. I’m good.”
“Okay. Just let me know if you need backup.”
“I’m not worried. Anyway, everything is as planned. Pick me up at seven.” I end the call, and Tobias is staring at me.
“Just making sure you’re not talking to some chick.”
“You don’t trust me yet, but one day you will. Your sister is going to be my wife and when I tell you she has my fidelity, I mean it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to check on Lara.” I’ve missed her all fucking day, and I just need to look at my beauty to make sure that somehow she won’t disappear.
