The Distance Between Us

Chapter 86: The Distance Between Us

The days after the ordeal blurred together. 

Gabriel had insisted Diane stay at home while she recovered, arguing that it was safer, and after a heated conversation, Leon eventually agreed. 

The press still continued with speculation about Evelyn's disappearance, but the three of them had stuck to their story: Evelyn had vanished without a trace. 

No wolves. No blood. Nothing.

Diane should have felt relieved. Safe. But something was wrong.

And that something was Arthur.

At first, Diane chalked it up to the trauma. After everything her brother had endured with Rachel…her manipulations, lies. 

He wouldn't look at her. Wouldn't come near her.

And when he wasn't avoiding her entirely, he was clinging to Gabriel.

"Arthur?" Diane called softly as she stepped into the living room. 

Arthur was curled on the couch, his small body half-hidden under a blanket.
