Sam parked the car outside my old workplace, It felt strange to be back at the diner after so many years. Last time 1 was back was for CeCe’s wedding. I still kept in touch with her and Jessie from time to time. Finlay put his hand on my neck and massaged it.
Are you okay?‘ he mindlinked me.
I’m fine. The last time I was here, it was with Martin. It seems right in a way,‘ I told him. He placed a kiss on my hair.
‘I was insanely jealous of him because he got to take you to the wedding. And at the same time grateful because I knew he would keep you safe, he confessed.
‘He knew back then about us. I think he found it frustrating to watch us dance around each other. I miss him.
‘So do I. We will make sure his family is safe,‘ Finlay said. I nodded. We waited for twenty minutes before a black truck parked behind us. We all got out and I found myself in the middle of a protective triangle. It was sweet, but unnecessary in my opinion. I smiled at Bridget and got a tired smile back.
“It’s nice to see you,” I told her and pushed past Finlay who was in a staring contest with Kyle. Sam tried to stop me, sidestepped his hand and gave Bridget a hug.

“It’s okay, Bridget. We didn’t take offence, right Finn?” I said, nudging Finlay in the side.
“Right,” he said in his grumpiest voice. “We won’t ask for anything in return,” he added.
“Not even information?” Martin’s father asked. I could see where they were coming from.
“We would be grateful if you let us know if Tamara is in danger, but we won’t demand it or any other information. You can share what you are comfortable sharing,” I told them.
“You may need to give more information to the council. I have talked to them and they won’t accept my brother’s possible request to turn you rogue before you give them your side of things. But we can arrange for you to have such a meeting in private,” Finlay added, Kyle’s eyes grew bigger.
“You have already talked to the council?” he asked.
“My Luna thought it would be for the best. She is brilliant. It’s always a good idea to take these things seriously before they become an issue,” Finlay said.
