Chapter 74

“Why? Because he stayed to help, or because he pinned me to the floor and refused to let me up?”

“Because I know that if I ever really was a threat to you, or Emma, or just in general, he’d do whatever he could to take me down.”

“He was certainly willing to do that tonight. Fortunately for you, he trusted me. Well, he trusted me enough.” Jesse glanced at the closed bedroom door. “I should probably go in first, in case Michelle is ready with a stake.”

Gideon nodded. “It might even be better if we wait until later for me to try and talk to her. Give her some distance from the whole thing.”
