When Avery takes his hand away, Kimiko frowns, both at him letting go but also at the thought that she wouldn’t be able to be in her own clothes either. She glances down at her shirt again, noticing the burned mark, but also that her bra was visible. [color=FFF79A]“Can you show me where those are?”[/color] She asks Avery, crossing her arms over her chest. [color=FFF79A]“I don’t think we can do anything for them right now anyway.”[/color] Her eyes dart outside before landing back on Avery.

[i]So I could have potentially gotten Cassi killed along with me. And Caden would have lost their mate and best friend in one night.[/i] Nero thinks to themselves. At Caden’s last words, Nero gets up and closes the distance between them. They’re careful not to touch Caden, even though they’re dying to, but they try to position themselves in his eye line so he can see their sincerity. [color=#9B111E]“You think I would purposely hide that from you? That I would willingly go into this relationship knowing I had… I had…”[/color]. 

Their resolve fails them and they look down at their hands, almost seeing the blood on them again. They blink back tears as their hands start to shake uncontrollably. [i]I’m not the one who should be crying. I’m not the one who should be comforted.[/i]  

[color=#9B111E]“I didn’t know.”[/color] Nero finally just whispers before sinking to the ground again. [i]I knew I didn’t deserve him. I knew there was going to be something like this.[/i]

Nic can’t help but glance over at Cass, trying to make sure she’s not going into shock. Even with the rain, he speeds towards her home. He has his gym bag still in the car and could change into it if needed, but his priority right now is Cass. He reaches over and finds her hand, interlocking their fingers and gently squeezing. It takes about half the time it typically does to get to Cass’ town house and Nic quickly parks the car. 

He gets out and rejoins Cass on her side, grabbing her purse and digging through it until he finds her keys. He then takes the towels off of her and tosses them into the back seat before unbuckling her from her seat. He picks her up in similar fashion to how he placed her in the car back at Caden’s, carrying her to her front door, quickly finding the right key to unlock it. 

The cats come running as soon as Nic crosses the threshold and follow him as he places their mother gently on the couch. He scoops up Wayland and places him on her lap, kissing her forehead before he runs out of the house to grab her bag, his backpack, and the groceries from lunch, bringing all the items inside in one trip somehow and putting them on Cass’ table before turning to find Max.
