Chapter 216: I Need You to Come Back

I folded Aria's favorite purple dress and tucked it into the suitcase, my movements methodical as I packed our belongings.

The spacious suite in the Shaw family's European safe house had been our sanctuary for the past few days, but it was time to return to New York-without Sean.

"Mommy, when will Mr. Night come back?" Aria asked, her small fingers clutching her stuffed rabbit as she watched me from the edge of the bed.

"I'm not sure, sweetheart," I replied, carefully keeping my voice neutral. "He has some important matters to handle here first."

Her lower lip protruded slightly. "But will he come say goodbye before we go to the airport?"

I paused, my hands stilling on a half-folded shirt. Sean had left hour ago, after arranging our flight home and instructing Thomas to accompany us. He'd made it clear he wouldn't be seeing the children again before our departure.

"Mr. Night has many things to take care of," I explained gently. "But once he finishes here, he'll come find us in New York."

"Promise?" Aria's eyes widened, searching my face for reassurance.

"I'm sure he will,"
