~ SIENNA ~
Those words knocked the air clean out of me. Todd must have noticed my knees buckling because his hand clamped onto my shoulder to steady me. My heart pounded wildly, way louder than the silence that followed.
‘Like you killed your mother?’
Oh God.
I was learning more about Gavin from this aggrieved cousin in a few minutes than I would probably have from Gavin himself in months.
My thoughts spiraled. Didn’t Gavin tell me his reason for not charging for my coverup tattoo was to honour his mother’s posthumous birthday? Was that a lie? Was I relating with a psychopath?
Before I could process any of it, Gavin sprang on Lennon like a wild beast, sending him to the ground again with a savage force. Lennon barely had time to gasp before the blows began to rain down.
Hard.
