Cass nodded once and rolled over away from me. “That’s what I thought.”

Greyson looked at me, and I could see the pain there. He slipped down and pulled her against his chest. He whimpered as he snuggled her, but she refused to get that close to him. “You have to get cleaned up, baby.” He whispered against her head, but she just shook her head no.

“As soon as I shower, he will be gone, his scent will be gone, and I can’t face that yet.” I furrowed my brow. Greyson caught it, but just shook his head and mouthed the word ‘later‘. I nodded once and tried to comfort my friend. I patted her back, but she was still rigid.
