Chapter 117

"Aaliyah?" he called out again.
"Tristan," I said, and without a word, he took the blanket from the bench, wrapping it around my body.

I wrapped my arms around Tristan, inhaling his scent, and nodded slowly, realizing it was really him.
Tristan ran his fingers through my hair, hugging me tightly before slowly pulling back.
"Is everyone okay?" I asked. "Kieran?"
