Kai scooped me up effortlessly and carried me to his car.
He didn't let me lift a finger at all, and I leaned into it all. My mind blanked out, basking in his warmth. His comfort.
When we arrived at home, he headed to the kitchen to make a late night snack, and a hot shower seemed perfect.
The water cascaded down my body as I stood there for nearly an hour, forehead against the wall. I tried to make sense of everything. Nothing changed.
Listening to Kai would have stopped any of this from happening, but disobedience led to a new set of problems and mysteries, and we hadn't even solved the previous ones.
"Chloe?" Kai knocked on the bathroom door, and I sighed deeply. It's time to get out. Could someone hide in the bathroom forever?
If things had gone the way they were supposed to, none of this would have happened. Why did fate intend to keep meddling in my life!?
