LUKE
I don't answer Kat. I don't have the heart to tell her that I have lied to her. I will be going after Jeff. He has dishonored my Luna, and I cannot let that stand. He must pay for everything that he has done. Not only to Kat but to me as well.
Kat looks longingly at me, waiting for a response. I gently stroke her face with my fingertips, and she moans lightly. I brush her wild, red curls out of her face and place a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose.
Her eyes begin to flutter shut. After the day that we have had, it is no surprise that she is exhausted.
"Sleep," I whisper next to her ear.
"Not until I know that you will stay," Kat yawns.
"You are stubborn," I chuckle.
"Always," she whispers.
