“Home.” I wanted to live in the moment as we smiled at each other. I wanted to swoop her in my arms and kiss her pain away, but the telltale signs of men walking down the hall stirred me.
“After this,” I added with my hand on my gun. Her eyes locked onto the dead agent blocking the doorway, a smile spreading across her face.
“Mind if I help?” she asked, the most wicked, sexiest grin crossing her face.
I had never been more turned on in my life.
“Fuck ya you can help,” I said and pulled her close to deliver a quick, but burning kiss to her mouth. “I love you.”
“I love you more,” she whispered against me before diving to the dead agent and stealing his gun.

Instead, I was met with light-colored wood. Splashes of blue wallpaper. And the sound of waves crashing somewhere in the distance.

I let myself revel in it, just like Quinn had taught me. To listen to the world Letting it remind me that I was no longer in danger.
I took a deep breath. The not-so-stale scent of Quinn filled my senses.
Knowing that she was somewhere near helped the panic die down just enough for me to swing my legs over the bed, my feet coming into contact with the cold floors.
