The Rough Dawn [3]
The silence that followed amelia's confession was scary.
It was almost like the whole world had gone deaf and there was nothing to be listened to. But amelia knew there was more to the silence that could be seen.
She had expected Carlos to be throwing things at her, or Damien to be restraining her, and jill to be kicking her ass for being so stubborn or even jenny to beat the shit out of her for putting herself in danger and being reckless. But that was not what she got.
Nick could tell the atmosphere was getting tense for amelia. He wanted to help, but no one was moving. Not even Amelia herself. He was not in a position to keep amelia from herself, he wanted her to be safe with her siblings, but it seemed like that was a river that would take a lot of time to cross.
