"So she'll live with me, or mom and dad, or Brea and you'll spend time with her there, or even take her out when you can?" He didn't want to force Fia into anything, he was too tired to fight and the conversation reminded him how much a numb body could still hurt. "The only thing I ask is that Bella stays away from Selene, I don't want that woman anywhere near our.. anywhere near Bella."
It was hard, not calling Bella theirs. She only had been in their heart and never would be legally. He drained the rest of the wine and closed his eyes, feeling the warmth flow through his body and dull his mind.
"I don't want to go home," he said finally, tears clinging to his long lashes, "Home's too much like hell and I can't live there any more. I'd rather Hawken put my head on a spike than go back there. I'd rather live a lie here."
