    Chapter 0372


    “Oh!” Looking at the time, it was gettingte. “We talked longer than I thought we would.”


    “I was having too much of a good time to cut it shorter but as it is gettingte, I need to moved the


    essentials to the house so I can stay there tonight.”


    “Well, I hope you find the housefortable.” I said as we stood up.


    “Child, everything isfortablepared to a cell.” Cassieughed. and pulled me into a hug. I didn’t


    resist but hugged her back. Still didn’t feel like I was hugging my mother but it was stillforting.


    “We will have to do this again.” I said and I meant it.


    “I agree.” Cassie put her hand on my cheek for a moment and turned


    to leave. “Having a great afternoon!” She yelled.


    “Bye!” I said as I turned and walked to the front door.


    I was surprised to see Alec, Kris, Jacob and Colt sitting on the front steps. “I assume you guys finished


    with the boxes?” I asked. Stopping at the bottom step, I just leaned against the post. Kristen was


    across from Alec, Jacob was sitting on the top step leaning forward and Colt


    was hunched over the railing.


    “We did. There was some stuff but nothing shocking.” Kris said. “How


    was lunch with Cassie?”


    “Went better than I expected it to.”


    “Well, I think it’s time for us to head home.” Kris looked at Alec. He


    got up and took her hands to help her stand.


    “You are wee to stay for supper. I have a recipe from your


    UYGI BIJU TUIUA


    with us.”


    “Hmm, what are you cooking?” Kris looked conflicted.


    “Sp icy Tuna Rolls.” Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    “I thought you can’t have Tuna or sushi?” Jacob asked.


    “Actually, you can have Tuna in moderation. So much in one week is okay and you can have cooked


    sushi. Since the meat in sushi is Tuna, we are okay. Any cooked meat in the sushi is okay.” I rified.


    “Fair enough.” Jacob nodded. “However, I am going to pass. Sherry and I have some stuff to work out.”


    Jacob got up and started walking


    inside.


    “Good luck.” I said and smiled at him.


    “Thanks, I’ll need it.” He yelled without turning around.


    “So, did I tempt you toe over?” I asked.


    “You did.” Kris sighed.


    “Good. I need a few things from the store. Would you mind getting them for me?”


    “Of course. What do you need?”


    “Seaweed and sesame seeds.”


    “Key ingredients there.” Kris smiled at me as they walked down the


    rest of the stairs.


    “Yes, they are.” Kris and Alec walked passed me and got into their cars. That left Colt and me. I could


    feel his eyes on me the entire


    time.


    “So, you had a good brunch?” Colt asked breaking the silence. He stood up straight and came down


    the stairs.


    “I wouldn’t mind doing it again.” I said. Not moving towards him, he walked up to stand in front of me


    but staying an arms length away. “I suppose we should have a talk.”


    “Let’s talk on the way home.” Colt said. Putting his hand on my lower back, he guided me to his car.


    After he opened my door, I got in and he closed it. Going around to the drivers side, he got in. I waited


    for him to start the engine and pull out before talking.


    “I understand Alec did everything in his power to protect Kristen. I do not me him or you for her


    being kidnapped. What scares me is that even with everything that was done to protect Kristen, she still


    got taken. I’m not a fighter like her. She stood a chance and had what it took to beat Rip. I don’t. I don’t


    have her fighting personality.”
