“Just go,” Toth growled. He leaned forward and grabbed her hand.
She turned in her seat as Rami tore out of the driveway. “What happened?” she hissed.
He cradled her hand in both of his and kissed her knuckles. The unwavering gray of his eyes tethered her to him. “It’s done, Sav. You can let him go for good.”
Her shoulders slumped forward and relief spread through her. She didn’t want to know more. Not now, maybe not ever. He’d done the unspeakable for her, and not only could she now forget Jace, she could let herself be free of him.
She blinked back tears. “Thank you.”
“Don’t,” he said firmly. “Just don’t.”
She frowned. “But—”
“But nothing. It’s something I would have done with or without your blessing—okay?”
She wet her lips. He wanted to absolve her of any guilt, and that made her love him even more. He squeezed her hand and his warmth spread to her heart. As they headed down the driveway, she watched through the back window as the cabin went up in flames.
Finally, she could start living.
CHAPTER 29
“I’m not sureI should be here.” Toth stared at Nash’s house. The house he’d been thrown out of almost three weeks ago.
“Come on.” Savannah tugged at his forearm from the passenger seat, jostling the pink polka-dotted bag on her lap. “If they didn’t want you here, they wouldn’t have invited you.”
He grunted. She was right about that. None of his brothers seemed particularly obligated to be kind.
Knock,knock
The sharp rap of knuckles on his window snapped his attention to the dude standing at the side of his car. Cole leaned down and frowned. “You comin’ in or what?”
He opened the door, and Cole stepped back to let him exit. Toth had been so zoned out sitting in the driveway that he hadn’t noticed Cole’s vehicle pull up and park right behind him.
“Where’s Sophia?” Toth asked.
“She had to take Bella to a birthday party.” He glanced at Savannah as she rounded the vehicle and his gaze froze on the gift bag. “Shit,” he mumbled.
“Nice to see you too,” Sav quipped.
He rubbed the back of his neck. “Sorry. Just didn’t get a gift is all.”
Toth smirked. “I’m sure no one will care.”
Cole grunted and walked toward the house, his pace hurried and brooding.
Savannah hooked her arm through Toth’s, and they followed.
Nash greeted them at the door. “Hey,” he whispered. “Thanks for coming.” His hair was disheveled and he looked about three days overdue for a shave. “Dare and Dallas will be here tomorrow. We thought we’d stagger the visits so baby isn’t overwhelmed.”
Savannah smiled. “Thanks for inviting us, and congratulations.”
Nash’s tired eyes shone with delight. “Want to meet her?”
Toth grinned and caught Savannah’s hand. “Of course.”
Cole’s face turned pale but he nodded.
Nash led them up the stairs. “Don’t mind the mess,” he said with a chuckle. “We hired a cleaning company for the next few months, but it turns out they don’t tidy. Life’s never been so fucking chaotic but blissful at the same time, ya know?”
