Rose felt the sincerity in the words. She and Devon had been classmates, and there had been times, plenty of them, when she’d considered telling him. But when they’d been in school, she always locked away the memories of what happened to her at the Andersons’ house. She used her time at school to pretend to be normal. “Thank you for that.”
Weston stiffened at her words, but Rose ignored him. “When Juliette broke our trinity, it stopped them from getting leverage to the Grand Master. It was better this way.”
Devon examined her, looking rather helpless, then held out a hand. “Rose, I’m so sorry. I’m so very sorry.”
Rose gave him a one-armed hug, keeping hold of Weston’s hand with her free one so he wouldn’t misinterpret the gesture.
Juliette looked across the wide expanse, her heart in her throat as she watched Devon talking to Rose. She closed her eyes when Rose leaned toward him for a hug.
“Come with me,” she heard Devon say to Rose and Weston.
Devon had taken the gun back from Marek, but it was in the shoulder holster again, not drawn and pointed at Rose. Juliette pushed that thought away.
As Rose passed by her, following Devon, the other woman spoke without turning her head. “You still don’t have any idea what’s really going on here, Juliette.”
