Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 212

Chapter 80

"Why can't you go with me, again?" I ask Bronx while I smooth out the dress I changed into for the trip to the botanical gardens.

"I haven't been in the office for over a week. I'm drowning in work and we have a dinner party tonight that I can't skip out on to work late. If I don’t go in for a few hours, I won't be able to catch up," he wraps his arms around my waist and looks at me through the mirror, "Baby, you have nothing to worry about. They're excited to meet you. They are your sisters, they already love you."

I give a nervous sigh and fix my hair one last time. Bronx gives me a kiss and turns me around, leading me out of the closet room. He whispers words of encouragement to me the whole time, until we get to the door. He opens it to find Tyree on the other side, looking dapper in a black suit with a white shirt and black tie.

"Luna, are you ready? Marco is waiting in the car," he gestures for me to join him.

"He's right you know,” Lex says in a soothing voice as we walk, Tm not saying you don’t need to watch your back around them but underneath it all, they love you."

"Lex, I love you to pieces, but it feels you’re playing both sides of the fence right now and it's kind of frustrating," I huff at her.

"Sorry, Kas," she whimpers, "I'm in a bit of a rock and a hard place on this whole thing. I want you to get to know them because they are your family, but it's true, they could be dangerous."

I purse my lips as we get to the sedan. Tyree opens the door for me. From inside, a tall woman with sky-blue eyes peeks out.
