She kissed him back, but not as deeply as he would have loved. He sat opright, his brow furrowed "What happened? tvy bit her lip and stood up from the bed "It's Rosie she escaped"

He leapt out of bed, his heart pounding "What?"

Ivy didn't say anything, but her eyes did the talking

"Where's Thomas?" he asked, fear surging inside him

"He's downstairs. He asked me to wake you"

He rushed to the bathroom, took a quick shower, before changing into a blue shirt and grey sweatpants Together with try they went downstairs where his family was talking over each other in the hallway

"Guys," he called, but nobody heard him.

Thomas was explaining something and when his eyes met Silas, he moved away from them. “Sk, how are you doing? Silas's stomach dropped at the look in his brother's eyes. Thomas looked empty, his gaze dull and the realization tightened Silas's chest

"Good. How are you doing, bro?" he asked gently, trying to hide his own fear

"Good, Thomas said quickly. "Rosie escaped"

Silas's stomach flipped with dread. "I was just told. How did it happen?"

Silas didn't have to think twice. "Let's go."

"We're coming with you," Theresa said, worry etched on her face.

"No, you're not," Thomas said firmly. "I want you all to stay here, please."

Silas heard the softness in Thomas's voice-almost pitiful. Everyone else seemed to notice too, and they all went silent.

His heart ached, and he placed a hand on her waist pulling her closer. It felt so good to have her love him, and in this dreadful moment, he was more than grateful for it.

"Worried," he admitted, locking eyes with her.

She didn't look away the way she used to, and it melted something in him.

"We'll get through this," she said, and kissed him.
