“We’ll trust you. Just stay safe. Both of you.”

After a long twentyminutes of goodbyes and promises that we will be back soon, we are finally out of the house.
Just as we climb in the truck, Maddox sends me a text.
“Mojo is doing good,” I tell Penny. “He has to stay at the vet for a few days, though.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
I watch her buckle up before backing out onto the road. “Tucker broke into my house, destroyed it while he was there. We can’t go back there.”
“Oh… where are we going?” she asks, and I already know she will not like the answer.
“I’m taking you to the club. It’s the safest place.” It’s true. There is nowhere safer. Not only does it have a security system and cameras, but it is also where you can find most of the brothers. Some actually live there, but most of us just have a room to crash… or fuck.
“I know you don’t enjoy going there, but it’s safe, and that’s all we need right now.”
