Georgia's POV:
The next morning, I wake to the sound of Trent preparing to leave. I practically glare at him.
"Please let me come with you."
"No," he says, completely unaffected by my anger.
"Please."
"Not happening."
"What if I..."
"Silly Bint, there is nothing you could offer me that would be enough for me to risk your safety. Next week - and not before."
I frown but I don't say anything. In fairness it's pretty sweet that he's concerned about my safety. Climbing out of bed, I step up on my tiptoes and kiss him softly on the lips.
When I pull back, he's looking at me with a strange expression, it's somewhat unfathomable.
"I'm sorry."
"You're sorry?" I ask. "For what?"
"I didn't stop him. I didn't save you."
I laugh harshly. "I never asked you to."
"I still should have."
"No. You did your job." I pull him towards me. "I don't expect anything else."
