Chapter 97

(Emily's POV)

We return to Steve's house in the early hours of the morning. I press my forehead against him, then I kiss him, assuring myself that he's breathing still and that he smells and tastes the same as ever.

He wraps his arms around me, his heart beating against my chest. He nuzzles his face against my ear.

When suddenly Dimitri fell to the ground.

"Oh my god!" I cry, holding his face in my hands. "Are you alright?"

"Yes," he says. "I'm alright."

"Emily!" My brother's sharp yell interrupts us.

I let go of Dimitri

Steve is standing in front of us, staring at us with a horrified expression.

"Get in the house," he hisses.

He entered the house but we were left standing still here in the yard. Dimitri held my hand, gesturing me to obey Steve. I entered the living room, where Lea and Steve stand side by side, arms crossed over their chests, and forbidding expressions on their face.

Dimitri follows me in.

"This is over," my brother says, sternly, pointing between Dimitri and myself.
