Trust.
It was a big thing for both of us.
I respected the level of trust that we had between us.
And I knew there would never be a damn thing that would cause me to break that.
“Charming says Abigail just got back,” I said as I read the text.
I let out a long, sad sigh, knowing that I couldn’t put this off any longer now that she was here.
“I’ll be in the bedroom,” Petra said as she got to her feet. She leaned over and placed a light kiss on my lips.
I knew she’d stay if I asked her to but I thought about Abigail. Petra was a bit terrifying even if you did truly know her like I did. I imagined having her there would only make Abigail more upset and frightened.
I got to my feet and sent Charming a text asking him to bring her up here. I didn’t want to do it out in the open and my apartment felt a little more relaxed than the office. That said, I knew nothing would ease the horrible news she was about to hear.
I heard two sets of footsteps coming up the stairs and I knew it was them.
I took a deep breath and headed for the door.
