Sorry

Two weeks after the confrontation with Jacob, I decided that I had been putting Daisy in danger. I pick my new phone up and text him.

[Yes.]

Half an hour later, I found myself assuring Daisy. I didn't speak to her, I just kept my hand on her shoulder and shook my head at her. She fought the panic when there was a loud knock on the door. I opened the door myself. He hugged me tightly when he saw that it was me.

It had been so simple.

It had only taken one word for him to understand exactly what I meant.

Daisy stared in horror as realization dawned on her. She frowned as Jacob dropped to his knees and slid the ring on my finger. I closed my eyes, knowing that he was too busy appreciating the mark of possession. A rushed breath left me as I opened them again and smiled at him as best as I could.
