Long after he left, I stared at the door, like Lookah. As if waiting for my owner to come back and give me life again. I felt exposed out here, on my own, with a stranger in the house. Not that Slade was a stranger stranger. He\u2019d been a regular like most of the other guys from their little group. Their Navy SEALs group. But I didn\u2019t know Slade well. Not like I knew Dare. I guessed Dare was also a stranger. Or he had been until two weeks ago when he pulled me into his arms and carried me away to safety.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d gotten closer since then. A lot closer. I mean, we slept in the same bed. It didn\u2019t get closer than that. Well, it did, but we hadn\u2019t gone there. I didn\u2019t think we ever would. If he was interested in me in that way, he\u2019d have said so by now. Or done something about it at least. It was okay. I\u2019d made my peace with that.<\/p>\n

And yet every second he was away from me was agony. Torture. My stomach hurt and my head throbbed. What if he found Victor? What then? What if he didn\u2019t come back? I should have gone with him. I shouldn\u2019t have stayed behind. Maybe if I was there I could help\u2026somehow. \u201cAre you okay?\u201d Slade asked me after a while\u2014not sure how long\u2014and I finally looked away from the door. \u201cYeah. Uhm\u2026I\u2019m okay.\u201d I glanced at the brioche dough and decided to put it in the oven.<\/p>\n

Only then did I turn around and looked at Slade in the eyes. \u201cAre you hungry? Want pancakes?\u201d Before he could reply I got to work. \u201cI could do with some pancakes.\u201d \u201cS-sure,\u201d Slade added but I wasn\u2019t listening anymore. I was too busy mixing in ingredients. I could feel Slade\u2019s gaze on me as I poured the batter on the pan but soon he turned his attention to his laptop.<\/p>\n

Most days were hard, especially when you\u2019ve had your heart, mind, soul\u2014hell, your entire world\u2014destroyed and you\u2019re still trying to pick up the pieces. Most days it was tough to get out of bed. If it weren\u2019t for my responsibilities, I\u2019d probably never leave the house. I\u2019d sit inside and go through the motions, pretending I was okay, when I was just existing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d been in survival mode for the past five years, yet it felt like an entire lifetime. And how could it not, considering how much I\u2019d lost and how busy I\u2019ve kept since. Thankfully, there was a ray of sunshine in my life. It was only one, but it was so bright it had the capacity to make me feel good if I let it.<\/p>\n

The ray\u2019s name was Zach. And that was who I was going to see this morning.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
