Chapter 19: He's Not That Bad

I finished making my way over to my sister after getting past the security detail man. It was good that someone was looking after me. Dax really made sure that I was always safe wherever I went, which made me more at ease overall.

The thought of him looking out for me sent an odd feeling to my chest. I tried to ignore it, since it brought memories back of waking up in Dax's arms.

It wasn't something I should keep thinking about. He had left that day without saying goodbye. It almost was like he had never been there, and I had dreamed the whole event. But I knew it was real, as I remembered how warm his body felt when he was that close to me.

I quickly focused back on the present and shoved thoughts of Dax away. I needed to distance myself from what had happened that day, since it was the best choice to do. It was too dangerous to get closer to Dax in general.

I spotted my sister in her living room. She was expecting me to come over, so I guessed that maybe we would eat together aft
