“We save each other, right?” Evan kissed me long and deep.
“You know, I totally had an inter-dimensional advocate the other night.”
“Yeah, I had one, too. She was really interesting to talk to. How are you doing with the wholeRosalind isn’t deadthing?” he asked.
“She and Solomon are the authority’s problem now. I hope they rot in prison. I also hope they just kicked Abel back home with fewer memories.” Turning, I leaned my face on his chest. “They sold Rydor Corp the equipment, and probably the contacts, without knowing I worked there. Rosalind could have sent me to Wes.” The tears leaked out.
It was a lot.
“I have you. The good thing is that you have most of your answers. She’s in custody. You can now forget about her and have a revenge-worthy life.” He smoothed my hair.
“The best revenge is a good life. I have so many good things to look forward to.” Like my siblings. Our vacation. The wedding. Making a virtual super collider.
“We do,” Evan agreed.
“Can I come in?” Wes called from the doorway of my room.
“Sure,” Evan called back.
Wes came in, looking concerned. “Are you okay, Peaches?”
“I’m okay,” I replied, looking up at him. “Because I have all of you.”
Chapter Sixty-Eight

“Are you ready?” Wes stood in the doorway of my office, looking boyishly handsome, as he flashed me a smile with dimples.
“Yes. Let’s go.” I grabbed my bag. Riley had already gone upstairs to get a ride home with Spencer, Hiro had left, and Blaise hadn’t come in today.
Wes’s arm wrapped around my waist as we walked down the hall. “How was your day? Did anyone get in trouble?”
“Well, I let the interns do a project with ice cream since my new flavor arrived in the cafeteria. MaybeI’llget in trouble.” I loved coming up with fun things for the Special Projects interns to do.
He chuckled. “Love that. I have yet to get scolded today.”
Margie rounded the corner and scowled when she saw Wes. “We didn’t do it.”
Wes sighed. “Margie, I’m literally here to get my mate.”
“Hummmf.” Rolling her eyes, she stalked past us.
“Hey.” Creed joined us as we walked to the elevators.
“Hey. The professor still hasn’t answered me. It’s fine that he’s mad at me, but if Tru isn't coming this weekend, I need to know.” My belly turned. It had been a week since my brothers had held Nate at gunpoint to get my whereabouts. He could blame me all he wanted, but I’d like him to leave my siblings out of it.
Creed’s look softened as we went down to the lobby. “He’s not angry with you. I think he’s upset at himself for telling them where you were. They got your number from his phone, too.”
“He had to protect himself.” I leaned into Wes. Solomon probably would have shot him–or one of his students. It must have been a terrifying experience for them all.
“It’s all Mum, I’m sure. Having one less adult in the house is stressing her out.” Creed pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.
“Yep, I put her mate in danger. I’m nowpersona non grata."I sighed. Tru thought that she was still coming, and if she didn’t get to visit me, she’d be very disappointed. We’d made plans, including having tea at the Everydoll Boutique with Terrance’s kids.
Creed shook his head. “According to Verity, it’s still on.”
Given Verity was on escort duty, since Tru was too young to fly alone, hopefully she’d be the one to know.
