Shade wanted us to stop at my spot first before she went home. I agreed with her because it was still light out and I’d have to drop her off very far from her house in order for people not to see me of course. I was still reluctant to leave her by herself. I mean, I pretty much knew she was safe from the vampires, they weren’t going to do anything now, but still, I wanted to deliver her as close to the safety of her doorstep as possible, given everything we’d been through. We touched down at the top of my driveway near my tree. I made sure to circle around the property first before I landed just in case anyone was around. It was safe. “I love you, Leo.” Shade turned immediately to hug me when I set her feet down. “I love you.” I placed my arms around her and surrounded her in my wings. It had been so long since we’d last been together and it felt good. We held onto one another for what felt like hours.
