“What secret?” I ask, nearly tripping over a ledge.
“Whoa, be careful,” Lana mutters.
“I’ve got him,” Kai says.
They guide me in somewhere. I can hear a door creaking, and when my feet land on wood, I tap the floor a few times.
“Okay, can we cut the crap now,” I growl, getting impatient.
“Nathan?”
Rory’s voice makes me rip the blindfold off immediately.
She’s standing in the middle of a furnished living room, in a place I don’t recognize, with a flower in her hands.
I run to her and go to my knees to hug her tight. “I missed you.”
“I plucked this for you,” she says, holding out the flower to me.
“For me?” I smile, and she nods. “You’re too sweet, Ro.”
She giggles as I hug her again, then I turn my gaze toward Kai, Milo, and Lana, who stare at me with mischievous looks. “What is this place?”
“Yours,” Kai says.
I frown as I get up, confused by what he means.
“Well, hers too, technically,” Milo muses, raising his brow.
“What do you mean yours?”
Lana dangles a key in her hands. “This house belongs to you and Ro now.”
My eyes widen as they home in on the key, my whole body feeling numb to the core.
She steps forward and grabs my hand, tucking the key inside.
“But … how?” I mutter in disbelief.
“Let’s just say we all saved up some cash,” Kai answers, winking.
“We thought you and your sister deserved a safe spot after everything you’ve been through,” Milo adds, smiling gently.
“Are you all for real?” I mutter.
Lana laughs. “As real as can be.”
I’m overwhelmed by pure gratitude, and I jump into Lana’s arms, hugging her so tightly she can barely breathe. “Come here, all of you,” I tell the boys, and they come to hug us too, my arms wrapping around all three of them.
Ro’s little hands curl around my thighs as she mutters, “Me too.”
“Aw,” Lana murmurs.
“Thank you,” I mutter, blinking away the tears. “Thank you all so much.”
“We just want the best for you,” Kai says.
“Is this our home now?” Ro asks, and I let go of everyone else to answer her.
