Erin’s POV Henry returned home a couple of hours after he told me he’d be there. I was able to shower and get dressed in comfortable clothing by the time he returned so I didn’t have to explain to him anything. He wanted me to order a pizza, so I had it waiting for him at the kitchen table when he walked into the house. He looked exhausted, not like someone who was about to spend the entire night investigating the vessels with me. We had a plan to go to Bane’s pack and do a little digging on him. But telling from Henry’s exhausted look, that might have to wait until another day. “Is everything okay?” I asked, watching as he sat down at the table. “Yes,” he said. “Just a last-minute client meeting. I wasn’t really planning on staying that late. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
