Cassian
The car ride home is actually pleasant this time. She holds my hand the whole way, and rests against my arm.
Now that she bears my mark, I see her in a whole new light. All I want to do is protect her, and love her, and f**k her.
My father knows now that I didn’t reject her, and that I marked her instead. I can only hope that he doesn’t try anything irrational.
Because I would end his life if he did.
By the end of the 30-minute drive, she’s fast asleep, napping against my arm.
Did she not sleep very well at Linc’s house?
I guess I didn’t sleep much without her, either.
When I turn off the car, she blinks her eyes open halfway, and looks around aimlessly.
I get out and open her door for her, which she doesn’t get mad at me for, thankfully. She gets out but falls into my arm
