Chapter 28: Back in Silver

Silvana batted her lashes at Bruce, flattered that he would be so confident and supportive of her efforts to do the thing that drove her father into a deranged state where he had tried to come between them.

That was how she knew Brue was a true love, because he wanted to be there right beside her no matter how difficult the path forward was.

Silvana nodded and said, “Okay handsome, I agree to your deal.”

And she fell asleep seconds after, finally feeling happy once more as Bruce relaxed her and gently scratched the back of her head.

Despite all the complications in their lives, he too fell asleep with a smile on his face, understanding that he needed to appreciate such a wonderful moment while he still had it.

But Bruce tossed and turned all night, tearing at the bedsheets. His dreams were filled with the memories of being locked in the cellar, the only light emitting from the crimson binds that electrocuted his arms and legs. He woke up screaming in a warm sweat.
