I kissed Sarah on the temple and looked at Jackie. “It’s about time we accepted that Sarah is a far better person than the rest of us.”
Jackie laughed and nodded, slumping into the chair. “Will is handling things with the police for you. Nate and Scarlett are at your house, adding some cameras and alarms, but mostly getting it cleaned up. We’ll stock your fridge and such for when you get out of this place. Speaking of, when is that?”
“Tomorrow,” Sarah explained. “Well, I guess technically today. What time is it?” She looked around, disoriented.
“You don’t have to do all of that,” I said to Jackie, feeling guilty they were all going out of their way. I was ready to go home, but it wasn’t fair to have them go to any extra lengths.
Jackie looked at me incredulously. “When will you get it through your thick skull that we all love you, and this is what family does?” She stood upright, walking toward the door and looking over her shoulder at me. “We take care of each other, Fai.”
She left the room, closing the door behind her and leaving Sarah and me alone once again.
Sarah relaxed into the bed, curling into my side. “Now what?”
“What do you mean?”
“Levi is finally out of our lives, getting the help he needs. So, now what?” she asked.
I took a deep breath. “Now we live.”
