Evelyn POV
Orion comes to pick me up; Imogen must have called him because I know I didn’t. As I get in the car, he looks at me.
“Are you okay?” he asks, but I can tell he misses Thaddeus just as much as I do. He is simply better at hiding it, yet I can feel how badly he wants him through the bond.
“Where is Ryland?” I ask instead of answering. I know he already knows I don’t feel okay.
“Went looking for him,” Orion answers, and I turn to the window.
Ryland doesn’t come home till late that night, waking me as he climbs into bed. As I feel the warmth of his skin pressed against mine, I roll over and nestle into his chest, inhaling his scent as he wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer.
“You didn’t find anything?” I ask.
He says nothing, just pulls me closer, resting his chin on
