Chapter 25

Sadie agreed to stay with Zoe’s mom while Luca drove Tia and Gaby back to the Packhouse for a nap. They put Gaby in her old room and then returned to Tia’s. Exhausted, Tia flopped on the bed.

Luca slipped off her shoes and massaged her feet.

“Why are you so bloody good to me?” she signed.

Before he could answer, she was asleep. He covered her with the blanket, kissed her, and whispered, “Sleep well, my goddess.”

Luca hurried to the office where Bran and Augustus were waiting for him.

“How is the girl?” Bran asked.

“They expect her to recover, but she has not regained consciousness yet.” Tia came back with me and is resting upstairs.”

“That is good.” Augustus nodded.

“Any news about the Gamma?”

“No, everything has been quiet. Not even a sighting.”
