Shadows In Durango
Chapter 85
Chapter 85
*****Daryl's POV*****
I grab my car keys, feeling antsy now with knowing that Vincent and Sofia would be back home tonight.
I had unwillingly offered to pick them both up from the airport to which I was now fully regretting with dread for how awkward it might be...
But with my own feelings put aside, there were far more serious threats at hand and I knew that Vincent wouldn't have called me unless he was truly concerned about it either.
I walk down the hall in search of Reid and Emma, eventually finding them out in the back garden with hot drinks and blankets as they sit under the moon together.
If I hadn't have been in such a pissy mood this week, I would have cackled at the sight of Reid like this, wrapped up in a fluffy lilac blanket holding the warm mug between both hands... he was a sight for sore eyes and I just knew that Vincent would have tore him apart by now for this!
As though reading my mind since I had probably stared through him for far too long at this point, his eyes narrow in on me, presenting a 'don't even think about it' look as my lips pull upwards in to a knowing smirk.
"Cosy?" I all but say, earning a grumble from Reid as Emma glances at me in confusion.
"Very!" She chimes, smiling as I nod once and enjoy every last second of Reid's embarrassment.
"I'm leaving to pick them up, we shouldn't be too long." I inform them both, as Emma's eyes seem to light up at the mention of Sofia being home soon.
"Great, we will wait up!" She smiles brightly, as Reid takes another drink from his mug which causes me to chuckle this time before I walk off.
Despite being in a terrible mood, I knew that I would have my laugh about this later, that was for sure!
I head out in to the driveway, the cool night air doing nothing to ease the tension building up in my chest. My car's headlights flash as I unlock it, and I climb inside, gripping the steering wheel for a moment before starting up the engine. The hum of the engine is steady, but my thoughts are anything but...
It wasn't just about picking up Vincent and Sofia - it was about everything that had gone down between us only days ago which all resulted exactly as I had feared - with putting Sofia in danger!
whatever mess Vincent had gotten himself into was all working hand in hand to make me more pissed off and yet, despite all of that,
