“Oh. Him. God, what a creep.”
“Did he touch you before today?” Remy snapped.
They hadn’t been allowed in with her when the detective was questioning her.
“No, no,” she said hastily. “I would have told you if he had. He just . . . I don’t know. Stared at me a lot. But he had a wife and I thought maybe I was just being too sensitive or something.”
“Next time you feel any inkling that something is off, you will tell us,” Remy commanded.
“Yes, Daddy. Sorry.”
Loki ran his fingers through her hair, trying to soothe her. “Wait, that’s not what you had to tell us, Tink?”
“N-not exactly.” She took in a stuttering breath. “I’ve been feeling a bit off for a while.”
“A bit off?” Remy asked.
“How?” Loki asked.
“Oh, um. Tired. Breathless. Sometimes dizzy.”
Loki started to swear.
“Damn it, Tink. You should have told us.”
“Never should have given you time to tell us what was going on,” Remy grumbled.
“That won’t happen again,” Loki agreed.
Yikes. She thought she was in trouble here.

Remy carriedher into the hospital. She’d agreed to go to the hospital if they came back to the one closest to Wishingbone. Loki had called ahead and one of the administrators was now fawning all over him. Practically tripping over herself to get him whatever he wanted.
“Excuse me, do you remember that Isabelle is the patient?” Remy snapped as the woman asked Loki what he wanted to drink.
“Oh, yes. I’ll find out who is on call . . .”
“I want Xavier,” she said. He’s the only doctor she would tolerate.
“Well, I’ll have to see if he’s busy.”
“He’s on shift?” Remy snapped.
“Well, yes.”
“Then get him,” Loki said firmly. “Whatever my girl wants, she gets. Now, show us to an exam room.”

Loki could feelhimself starting to unravel.
Hold it together.
But it felt like he was coming apart. String by string. And he couldn’t focus enough to pull himself back together.
He was still burning with fury over that fucking asshole touching his girl.
