As Nina passed him, Trey put a hand on Nina??s arm. She stopped. He gingerly pulled her into his arms and whispered, ??Thank you. Without what you did, we both might be dead.??
She gave him a solemn look. ??There was no way in hell I was going to let that happen.?? She kissed his cheek.
Landon touched the small of Trey??s back. ??Can I convince you to go straight upstairs???
Trey nodded. The pain meds at the hospital had helped some, but he was both sore and exhausted by this point. He went up the steps and into the bedroom he shared with Landon. He noticed the gun safe was hanging open.
??After I heard the shots, I never came back up to shut it,?? said Landon. ??Not too bright I guess.??
