“Shit! Addie!” A worried, familiar face entered my clouded vision, and I clutched at Ronan’s arms desperately. His considerably larger body folded around mine, rocking me back and forth. He whispered in my ear, comforting words about how they were all safe, how much he loved me, how he would never leave me.

I was distantly aware of a new set of arms pulling me away. I recognized Declan’s scent immediately, burrowing myself further into him.

I didn’t know how long we sat there, both of us crying, but it was long enough for my body to ache with shooting pains.

With a gurgling sound I couldn’t quite recognize, I pulled myself away from Declan. His face was red and blotchy, the faux hawk I admired so much hanging limply in his eyes. Almost absently, he brushed at the disobedient hair.

“You know?” I signed. There was only one thing that could cause such pain in his eyes. He nodded slowly.

“Are we...are we going to get through this?” I continued. He didn’t answer right away, instead leaning forward to brush his lips against my forehead. I trembled at the connection, the feel of him. When he settled back, his arms still wrapped loosely around my waist, his eyes were determined.

“We’ll try,” he croaked out.

That was all any of us could do: try.
