LUKE POV
Lexi cried herself out and went to sleep. I held her in my arms and we dozed off. I was exhausted. So much had happened in one night and I was ready to call it quits for the moment.
I woke up to the sun streaming in the windows and my arms empty. I saw Lexi sitting on the end of the bed, dressed, and calm. I sat up and stretched.
“How are you feeling?”
She turned to look at me, eyes swollen and red from crying. I noticed the burns on her arms had almost healed; all you could see was a pale pink spot where they were last night.
“I’m numb right now. I’m not even sad anymore. Just numb.”
Her voice broke my heart. She sounded flat, emotionless. I sat up.
“How about some breakfast,” I asked gently. She nodded and I swung my legs off the bed and reached out my hand to her.
