Mac didn’t say anything he let Al leave. Looking down at the ring, he took his own rings off, the gold and the black one Al had given him and placed them in a dish. He said once, he wouldn’t choose between Al and Selene, he’d stick by that decision.
It’d be business as usual. For now there was only one thing that really mattered. Leaving the bathroom, while pulling on a shirt, Mac found himself a chair pulling it up near the bed where Bella slept. He covered her with the blankets he had kicked off, then smoothed his hand across her forehead. After that he remained in the chair, every now and then he’d doze off but his full attention was on Bella.
Come morning, they’d have to take her before the court royalty and she would have to want to go home. Al might say he’d stay, but Mac would say he wouldn’t stay. All this time Bella had been with Mac, he knew she’d go home to be with grandma and grandpa to bring the other two home together. Those things were a certainty.
It made up for everything else not being a certainty.
