“No one is going to take him from us,” Mr. Mason says, cutting in. His tone is calm, but that darkness in his eyes flashes once again.

“Us?” A small flame of hope lights inside of me. He nods.

“Colin brought you something.” He motions toward the bags. “My bathroom has a shower if you’d like to use it. Everything you’ll need is in the bags.”

The thought of a shower makes me want to cry. I stand, going over to the bags, shuffling through them. He wasn’t lying. There is everything I’ll need in them. Not only for me but Beau too. I get a pile of things I’ll need to shower. I can feel him watching me the whole time.

“You think I’m going to run?”

“No, I have Beau. I’m not worried about you running.” Right.

“Why are you doing this for us?”

“I thought I already answered that.” My mind flashes back to when I said he didn’t own me. His response was I do. No one has ever claimed me before. Not in my whole life. I’ve never belonged to anyone.

“I’m Lila,” I tell him. “Be careful what you claim.”
