Chapter 186 Audrey
I took Edwin's hand and leaned against the doorframe with him, watching as Peter and Eliza began to argue over a card
game.
Their bickering was light-hearted, nothing like the tension from earlier in the evening. It was a welcome change, the sound of their playful jabs filling the warm living room- even if I knew that they were only doing it to give the two of us a bit of privacy and to lighten the mood.
"Are you alright?" Edwin asked quietly, his thumb tracing circles on the back of my hand. His touch was tentative but gentle and comforting, and I felt some of the lingering tension from the night's events melt away just from that single point of
contact.
I nodded, offering him a small smile. "Yeah, I'm okay now. Eliza came to talk to me after you left." Edwin's eyebrows rose slightly. "Oh? What did she say?"
"She explained a bit about the... complicated relationships in your family," I said, choosing my words carefully. I glanced back at Eliza, who was now triumphantly laying down a winning hand, much to Peter's apparent chagrin. "It helped me understand things a bit better."
"The Brooks family has been a f**g mess since the beginning," she had explained as she had thrown a soft blanket over me and pressed a cup of hot cocoa into my hands. "Don't blame yourself for the things my idiot father said and did tonight. He would have found something to pick on even if you had been perfect, because that's what he does."
Edwin's expression softened, a mixture of relief and something that looked almost like guilt crossing his features. "I'm glad. I know my family can be... a lot to take in," he murmured.
I nodded and chewed my lip for a moment, still feeling exhausted from all of it- especially now that the alcohol had worn off. A lot to take in' was putting it lightly. And Edwin knew that as well as I did. Edwin turned to me, taking both of my hands in his now. "Peter offered to help train you to shift. Is that something you would like?"
I blinked in surprise, my heart s*ing a beat. "Really? And you're... okay with that?"
