“You’re saying you know it was her? And you still let her off scot-free?” Felix asks.
I nod. “That’s right.”
“He’s seen me kill, actually,” Sunny adds. “Two days ago.”
The blond girl’s face turns as white as snow. “So you are a serial killer?”
“I killed the men who betrayed me,” she says.
“Trust me, they deserved it,” Orion adds.
“The point is …” I say, sighing. “I am sorry for my vindictive behavior, and I want to apologize for both me and on behalf of my father.”
Her mom and dad both grab each other’s hands, their nostrils flaring, and I know they have so much they want to say to me that the scolding would probably last days on end. But I can take it. She’s worth taking on every ounce of their hatred for the man who tried to take her down, all because of a misconception about what their family truly is like.
But maybe my dad was wrong about them.
Maybe they’re not half as bad as he said they were.
“It’s not me you need to win over,” her dad says.
“Okay. Apology accepted,” her mom says, folding her arms.
“Will your shit-faced dad show up to apologize too or is he too chicken-shit?” Xavier’s dad cracks his tatted knuckles.
“Dylan!” Silas’s mom throws a pillow at him.
“What? You know I’m right.”
“I’d love to see him grovel,” a guy with curly brown hair says from the back.
I try to laugh it off. “I could ask.”
“I don’t want to see that fucker’s face ever again,” Felix growls.
“Point taken,” I reply.
“So that’s it?” her mom asks.
“No,” Sunny says, smiling. “I actually wanted to tell you all that I’m dating these three fuckers, and nothing you say will stop me.”
Literally everyone’s jaws drop. Simultaneously.
Straight to the point, as always.
That’s why I’m in love.
Sunny
“What?”Mom gasps.
“Oh my God, this is fucking rich,” Silas says. “A serial killer dating the cop?”
I would chop off his head if he wasn’t already laughing it off.
“Shut the fuck up,” I grit.
“You’re for real?” Levi asks. “Foley?”
