“Don’t even think about moving,” Remy said.
She turned to see that Shawn was trying to get up.
“I’m c-calling the police. R-Remy?” she stuttered.
“I’ll keep an eye on him, baby. Loki, go with her.”
Loki moved his gaze from Shawn to her.
“Keep Isabelle safe,” Remy ordered.
Loki shook off his fury and walked over to her. He wrapped her up in his arms. She let out a sob, then pulled herself free.
“I can’t . . . I can’t fall apart yet.”
Nodding, he led her out into the hallway. Just as Fred ambled up it.
“What’s going on? You can’t all be here.”
“What’s going on is that Isabelle was just assaulted and you were nowhere to be found,” Loki sneered at the older man.
“Loki,” she said as Fred gaped at her.
She didn’t have time to reassure him. Or the energy.

Several hours later,they left the police station at Stepford. Loki was fuming. If they’d been in Wishingbone, she’d never have been interrogated for hours like that.
Remy was fussing over her, hovering in a way he never had before. And she was soaking that up.
At least Loki hadn’t been arrested for attacking Shawn. The police had to look at the feed in more depth, but they’d told them it seemed to be a clear case of him defending her.
Still . . . she was on edge.
It didn’t help that her heart was racing and she felt light-headed. She was kind of struggling for breath too, the world around her hazy.
“We need to get Isabelle home,” Remy said as they headed down the street to his truck.
Another wave of dizziness hit her.
The world around her started to grow black.
“Baby girl? You all right?”
“Tink? Fuck! She’s about to?—”
The world went black.

Isabelle opened her eyes, staring around in confusion.
Why was she being carried? In . . . Loki’s arms?
She squinted up at him as he paused.
“What’s going on?” she asked.
