Chapter 235: Disappear

*Michael*

I stared at Shelby sitting across the table from me. She still looked white as a ghost, likely still unsettled by the dream she had during the night. To be honest, it had shaken me just as much as it had Shelby, but I was doing my best to seem like the brave one in the situation. I had to be strong for her and the babies.

“Do you want me to get you more coffee?” I asked, standing to refill my own cup.

Shelby shook her head. “No, that’s okay. I really should head to work. We have a lot of evidence to go over today.”

She got up silently, and the sound of her plate clanking in the sink echoed through our quiet home. Shelby gave me a peck on the lips before heading down the hall into the nursery. She had been even more attentive to the twins ever since her nightmare, insisting they spend the night in our room.
