Chapter 104
Nicole
A few moments of silence passed, and I started to drift off. Just before I fully dozed off, I felt Nathan carry me out of the room. I heard him chatting with Andrew before he finally took me outside and settled me into the passenger seat of his car.
When we arrived at his house, he quickly led me to his room and lay down next to me. "I'm sorry," he whispered softly, almost as if he were speaking to himself, probably thinking I was already asleep. "I shouldn’t have left you earlier."
There was a tremor in his voice that revealed his regret, as if he wished he could rewind time to prevent that sick bastard from hurting me and trying to assault me.
Then, he pressed a gentle kiss on my lips, and I nestled closer, burying my face in his chest.
I’m home. Finally home.
