“You joining me?”
“They put their hands on Jessie, didn’t they?” he frowns.
“Yeah.”
“You said they were going to kidnap and rape her?”
“Yup,” I nod. “And this one,” I kick one in the head and he howls in pain. “Said he was going to tear her apart.”
“Then of course I’m fucking joining you,” he says as he pulls his shirt off.
“Good,” I smile at him. “It’s been a while since we did this. I hope you remember what to do?”
“Don’t forget who taught you everything you know, son,” he frowns at me and I laugh out loud. I hated not being able to deal with these two fuckers back in Oklahoma, but now I’m fucking glad Jessie made me leave. Because making them pay for what they did to our girl is going to be so much more fun with Shane by my side.
It only takes two hours for us to torture John and Jeff to death. We could have made it last longer, but I need some sleep before I have to go back to work in a few hours. We walk through the basement, still shirtless and covered in blood.
“Is Jessie up yet?” I ask. “Because if she sees us like this… well, I don’t have the energy to explain what we just did, bro.”
“I have no idea,” he shrugs.
“You haven’t spoken to her yet?” I frown at him.
“No,” he shakes his head. “She went off with the twins as soon as she got home.”
“But you could have gone and spoken to her,” I remind him. “It’s not like you’ve never seen them all fucking before.”
“Drop it, Con,” he snaps.
“Drop it?” I snap back. “You’ve been waiting to speak to her for two months and now you’re avoiding her?”
“I’m not avoiding her. It’s complicated.” He looks away from me. “My relationship with Jessie isn’t as easy as yours.”
“Well, you didn’t exactly help matters having Erin here the day Jessie got back,” I remind him.
“I couldn’t help that. She finalized the Ireland deal for us and she needed me to sign some papers.” He shakes his head. “Anyway, you should be fucking thanking me for what I just did, not giving me shit.”
I wrap my arm around his neck. “I don’t mean to, but you and Jessie need to sort your shit out, bro. The whole fucking equilibrium is off when you two aren’t right.”
He nods his head, but I’m not sure he’s convinced. He can’t forgive Jessie for leaving us. He can’t forgive himself for the way he treated her the last time she was here, so he assumes that she won’t forgive him either. I know that she already has, but I wish he would wake up and see how much she loves him, and how much he needs her.

JESSIE
Isit at the breakfast table and smile across at Mikey sitting opposite me as we each eat a bowl of Lucky Charms.
“I’ve missed you, Red,” he says as he swallows a mouthful of cereal.
“I’ve missed you too.”
We both look up as Liam strolls into the room. He sidles up behind me, wrapping his arms around me and planting a kiss on my neck. He’s just taken a shower and his hair is damp. I giggle like a teenage girl as he rubs it against my cheek. “Last night was incredible, baby,” he says against my ear.
“Sure was,” Mikey mumbles his agreement with a mouth full of cereal.
“It was.” I agree as I turn in Liam’s arms and kiss him softly.
