The Assassin's Blood

 It has been weeks since I last saw Declan. My body still yearns for him. All I can do is playback every second of our kiss. But it hurts because I know that I will never see him again. Connor has become more reserved too. He hasn’t talked about Declan since the day he saw him in front of the house. I know, though, that he’s still hurt and disappointed by his brother’s rejection. Eddie and his boys were released from the clink a few days ago. Thankfully, they haven’t connected their encounter with Declan, to us. Either way, Connor and I avoid being within their vicinity whenever they’re around.
