Diablo “Sarah.” Bat spoke her name like it was the oxygen in his lungs as the chair he was sitting in fell back with a clang. He took a shaky step forward, his hand out stretched as if he wanted nothing more than to pull her towards him and wrap her in his arms, and then he spotted me behind her and the hand dropped to his side. Emotions warring over his face. I was an absolute jerk. He loved her. Any person with eyes in their head could see he was all for my kid sister. They were besotted with each other. How many years had I stood in their way? How many years had they been miserable because I couldn’t get over my own misgivings. “When did you get back?” Bane had no qualms about wrapping her in his arms in a brotherly hug . Bat turned away his shoulders shaking. “We’ve missed you.”
