*****Vincent's POV*****
I went for a quick shower, leaving the door slightly ajar as a comfort to Sofia knowing that I wasn't far from her incase she got upset again...
I also wanted to give her some space to think over everything we had discussed, knowing that neither of the options I had presented to her were exactly perfect, but it was all we had. This whole fucking situation itself was far from perfect...
I was angry and despite texting my father long ago, he still hadn't replied...
I was angry at her brothers for the way they'd showed up in town, thinking they were the damn shit, and I was mostly pissed at Sofia's father for using her as a bargaining chip her whole life!
Hell, I was still even angry at myself for being so reckless with her life, though I knew there was no going back now...
All I could do was figure out the best way to go forward, the safest way for Sofia.
After quickly drying off, I threw on a T-shirt and sweats, keeping everything casual. I didn't want her to feel any extra tension around me and wanted to keep this place light and cosy to act as a 'safe house' for the time being. The day had been heavy enough for us all already without this place feeling like a prison...

Her eyes softened, the first flicker of warmth I'd seen in them since this ordeal had started... "Yeah... that actually sounds nice," she murmured, pulling her legs up to sit cross-legged on the bed.
She looked fragile and worn out, her guard having fell down in a way that made me want to go punch every wall.
I moved towards her, helping her stand, as we headed downstairs. Sofia immediately curled up on the sofa, pulling her legs to her chest as I grabbed a nearby blanket from the basket and tossed it her way.
