“You’relecturingusabout safety?” Tarryn raised her brows.
“What happens to me doesn't matter. You and Valor are the ones who are important.”
“I thought we decided you were important in this relationship, too,” I said, unable to stop myself from picturing him scaling the side of Tarryn’s building, and really considering what might have happened to him. He was a mortal man—not some supernatural being. My stomach turned. “If you need to stalk us, that’s fine, but don’t risk your life to do it.”
Tarryn turned her gaze to me, and I didn’t like the gleam in her eye.
“What?”
She shook her head, but I knew what the implication was. She was accusing me of caring about him. So, what if I did?
“How am I supposed to make sure you’re safe if I don’t test out your safety, myself? I wouldn’t have known Tarryn left her living room window unlocked, or that you keep a key for your side door in one of the flowerpots.”
I frowned. “There’s a key to my side door in one of the flowerpots?”
“I didn’t put it there.” Tarryn held up a hand in innocence.
“Didn’t you change the locks when you moved in?” Loïc demanded.
“No.”
He huffed. “So sloppy.”
“I’m not used to drawing the interest of psychopaths.”
“Well, be grateful I’m only interested in hot sex and not murder.”
“Anymore.”
“Anymore,” he conceded.
When we reached the front of the line, Loïc watched in wide-eyed horror as the people in front of us got into the last available seats on the ride and were whiskedaway.
“Have you changed your mind?” Tarryn asked him, also noticing his expression.
“Of course not. If this is what you love, I will learn to love it, too.”
“Is that what happened with Valor?” she asked. “I love him, so you learned to love him, too?”
He frowned at her. “He’s not ready to hear about my feelings yet.”
What?
The coaster’s other train returned with its noisy cargo. Most passengers looked excited, a few shaken, and two ready to puke.
Perfect ratio.
The workers emptied the ride, leaving us in the position of being able to choose our seats.
Loïc pointed to me. “You sit on the other side of her, and we’ll make sure she doesn’t fall out.”
I shook my head. “You should sit between us. We’ll help you stay calm.”
“Good idea,” Tarryn agreed.
What would we do on rides where only two people could sit together? At least we all fit side by side on this one.
“No, we should put Tarryn in the middle,” Loïc insisted.
