As soon as I entered the room, I scarcely had a moment to absorb the fragrance of home before being embraced. The impact almost pushed me back, but I regained my balance as Camille and Sienna crashed into me simultaneously.
"You're back!" Sienna's voice was muffled against my shoulder, her grip unrelenting. "Do you have any idea how worried we were?"
Camille was no better. She pressed a kiss against my cheek, then another, then one more for good measure. "We thought you were going to end up in another hospital, or worse—dead again."
I chuckled, a small, tired sound. "It'd take more than that to get rid of me."
They didn't seem convinced. Sienna held on like I might disappear if she let go, and Camille's usual teasing had a desperate edge. Eventually, Alexis stepped in, setting her bag down with a quiet sigh.
"Let him breathe, you two."
