“So what do we do?” Mia asked,wondering what they could actually do with the information. Maybe they needed to talk to Reagan again, Mia was sure she’d seen her around here somewhere.
“I don’t know.” Bex seemed shaken, and Faye dropped her touch so that she could put her arm around Bex’s shoulder.
“There’s more isn’t there?” she asked as she watched Faye offer comfort to their older sister. Something wasn’t adding up, and she wasn’t sure what it was, but she had an inkling. “How do you know none of the boxes will open for you?” Bex looked up from where she’d nestled into Faye’s shoulder.
“Because I’m marrying him to save his daughter.” Mia’s mouth dropped open as the words sunk in.
“What?” Faye asked, pulling away to look at Bex, who now had silent tears streaming down her face.
“Robert’s daughter was in trouble, and one of the ways to save her was for me to marry him.”
“And you believed him?” Mia’s anger was rising at the thought of her kind hearted sister being taken in by Robert’s plan.
“I didn’t need to, I saw a photo. They’re keeping her in a cell, Mia. A fucking cell.” Mia just stood there, unsure how to process what her sister was telling her.
“What can we do?” she asked softly, with Faye nodding along.
“I don’t know. Robert didn’t tell me what they wanted, other than him marrying me.”
“Them?” Faye asked, stroking Bex’s back. Mia glanced at the door, almost wanting to go and find Felix. He’d know what to do. Eurgh, when did she become that person? She wasn’t the kind that needed a man around for everything to be okay.
“If you want to go find him you can,” Bex said, her glazed eyes meeting Mia’s. She shook her head. No way was she leaving her sisters right now.
“I don’t think Robert will tell us anything we don’t already know,” Faye said.
“She doesn’t mean Robert,” Mia replied, keeping her voice soft and reassuring. “She means Felix. But I don’t know where he is right now.”
“Can he help?”
“I’m not sure,” Mia admitted. “I can’t say I know much about him apart from that he’s mine.”
“He’s definitely it?” Bex asked, a bit of awe filling her voice. Mia nodded.
“Yes.” She smiled to herself. thinking back to the fun the two of them had had in the cupboard. Yes, Felix was definitely it for her. The sparks had been more than enough to convince her of that.
“You have a smile on your face like you just got laid,” Faye teased. Mia bit her lip, avoiding her sister’s eyes. “Oh my God, you have. At the reception Mia? Really?”
“You understand-“
“No, Mia I don’t. I can’t touch my mate, remember?”
“Sorry,” Mia muttered.
“No, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have snapped. Whatever the problem is between Reese and me, it’s not your fault. Maybe I broke something in him that time I turned him into a toad.”
“I don’t think that’s it, Faye,” Bex interrupted for the first time.
“Then what is?”
“Remember what Reagan told us about Josh and Eira?” The two of them nodded. “Maybe it’s something similar to that.”
“You think we might be waiting for someone else?” Faye asked, hope blooming in her eyes.
“Maybe. It’s possible.”
“Don’t give up Faye, you never know what might happen.” Mia finally moved over to her sisters, taking each of their hands in hers. “But we have bigger things that we need to sort out. Like what the hell we’re going to do about Robert.”
“And about your date.” Felix’s voice came from the doorway and Mia instantly dropped their hands to turn to him. She wasn’t even fully aware what she was doing until she was by his side and slipping an arm around his waist. Luckily, he responded instantly, putting an arm around her shoulders and droppi
