Chapter 33

“I don’t know where we parked.”

With his features shadowed and inscrutable, Gideon reached for Jesse and pulled him against his chest, wrapping his arms around him in an almost painful grip. “Just let me,” he murmured. He slid his hands down Jesse’s back, but just when Jess was ready to sink into the sanctuary of the embrace, Gideon took his hand and began walking again, veering to the right until they were at his car.

It wasn’t until they were on the road that he spoke again.

“Are we going home?”

Jesse was about to ask where else they would go, but it occurred to him that he shouldn’t even give Gideon the chance to suggest going to Emma’s.
