Chapter 48: Ayla

After taking care of me, I coaxed Theo to join me in the bath, where we took care of each other before collapsing in the half–filled tub. I looked over the edge and laughed, realizing we had flooded the bathroom. But I couldn’t be bothered to care.

“What time is it?” I asked.

“Time to go,” Theo sighed. “Are you feeling better?”

I nodded with a smile. “That was just what I needed.”

“Good,” he said, nuzzling my neck. “You had me worried earlier.”

“I’m sorry,” I said. “I was just in a bad mood.”

“Regardless, we’re taking some things off your plate,” he said. “After tonight, no more worrying about rogues or the Waar Pak.”

“Alright,” I replied. “I’ll try. I can’t make any promises about the worrying part, but I can take a step back for a while. As long as you promise to keep me updated.”

“Wouldn’t dream of keeping anything from you,” he insisted, kissing my temple.

We moved to get out of the bath. I had put towels down on the floor so we wouldn’t slip. We quickly got dressed and headed out of the apartment hand–in–hand. It was comforting. I did feel calmer and more collected now that we had a plan. I didn’t feel like I was letting everyone down anymore.
