“And keeping it a secret is better?”
“I didn’t want you involved. I thought it would be better for you to stay out of it.”
“I’m already fucking in it, Hannah. I need to know this shit if I’m going to keep you safe.”
Fuck.
I shouldn’t have said that.
“I didn’t ask you to keep me safe,” she says softly, eyes narrowed on me as if I just told her I was a mass murderer.
I didn’t ask for this gnawing obsession, either, but here we are.
“Yeah, well, shouldn’t have been a question.”
She’s quiet for a moment, her gaze on Melissa’s phone in front of her. She opens her mouth to speak multiple times, but each time, she slams it shut while I continue to read through the texts on her phone.
“Spit it out, Hannah.”
She swallows a deep breath, her shoulders tight.
“Why didn’t you . . . tell me about the finger?”
It’s the elephant in the room, isn’t it? I kept it from her and whoever is behind this ratted me out.
“Because I knew you would take it to heart.”
I’m aware when she wipes a quiet tear off her cheek, even without looking at her. I fucking hate it.
“Pretty hard not to,” she says softly, her hand shaking when she reaches for her glass.
I sit her phone down on the table between us. I’ve seen enough. Now, I just need to find a way for Logan to track down whoever sent these messages.
“Everyone thinks I’m crazy,” she murmurs, drawing her knee up to her chest and resting her chin on it. “I think they’re crazy for not bothering to even look.”
I can’t believe I’m fucking saying this.
“I don’t think you’re crazy.”
Her eyes flash to mine and the tears there piss me off.
Fuck, I can’t believe I’m saying this . . .
“If it were one of my sisters . . . I’d find them.”
She doesn’t say anything, but I can see that small flash of appreciation in her eyes. One that’ll get me in trouble if I’m not careful.
“I’d do whatever I had to.”
Slowly, she nods, wiping a tear that clings to her cheek on the back of her hand.
“Tomorrow we’re going to the Inner Sanctum.”
Her eyes widen to saucers.
“Tomorrow?”
“Yeah. So find something that screams,I love sex clubs.”
