I stand there looking at him before sinking into his arms. All was not forgiven, but at this moment in time, all I wanted to do was snuggle between Syl and Herd, feeling safe and warm between my mates. All the witches left a few minutes after when the cars pulled up to take them back home. Both the twins helped to carry most of them out as they had lost all their strength and were fast asleep. When they came back through the door I pounced on them both as Herd scooped me up in his arms and carried me to bed. They both slowly stripped me out of my clothes as I fell asleep, still wearing the makeup which Willa had applied not so long ago. When I awoke in the morning, I knew that I had makeup smeared across my face. It was inevitable, and my eyes felt a bit sticky from the leftover mascara.
