“Yes. She looked happy.” I smiled sadly.
“Did she recognize you?”
“No, she didn’t see me. I was too far away.” I conveniently left out the part about how I was hiding secretly in an alley. “Besides, her attention was on her dads.”
Kass frowned and his brows knitted together. “Don’t call them that. She’sourdaughter.”
“Kass,” I said quietly. “They’re looking after her. We should be grateful.”
For a moment Kass seemed like he wanted to argue, but the fire burned out and he just sighed in exhaustion. “Fine. As long as she’s safe.” A new fire flickered as he muttered, “We’re going to figure out what Silas is up to, and when that’s done, we’re taking her back.”
I nodded along. I’d missed this part of Kass - the fiercely protective side that only came out when Angel or I were involved. Leaning forward, I rested my forehead against his chest with a soft sigh. His comforting scent enveloped me, and then his arms did as well.
For the first time in a long time, I felt a flicker of hope that things would somehow be okay between us.
