186 The Most Comfort

Scarlett's POV

"I'm sorry..." Sebastian grabs the frame of our door, so hard his fingers turn white. "I-- I..."

He stutters for long, but no words come out.

What COULD he say? Hours. Only a few HOURS after he told her no, he is on his way to see her, in the middle of the night.

Because Ava cut her own wrist.

"I...I won't do anything inappropriate with her. I just..." With utter struggle in his eyes, Sebastian explains, to me, or to himself, "I mean, you can come along if you--"

I cock my eyebrows and he instantly adds: "I'm sorry! I don't mean that, I'm not asking you to come and help her! I swear!"

I sigh. Only a few hours ago, I thought we could start over. I thought if Sebastian would take my side against Ava, then maybe we do have a chance at holding together a family. I was wrong. So long as Ava exists in his heart, she could drill a hole in our family no matter how generous I be.
