I pulled into the house a little earlier than I expected. The grocery store was pretty empty. I only saw two workers. I grabbed my

groceries and was out of the door before anyone said hello to me, which was fine. I needed a shower, and to see my girl. I brought

everything inside and put it next to the closet. I left the door locked until I was ready to go over.

I would do everything I needed to first because I knew if I went to the cabin, I was going to get an earful. I hopped in the shower

and groaned. It felt amazing to have my shower again. I had bought new shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I had a brilliant

idea as I was shopping. One that was sure to make Brandon go slightly insane.

I smirked as I sniffed the strawberry scent I had missed the last few years. Nix and Megan both sniffed the air and sighed. I

missed this smell. Nix purred in my mind.

Megan nodded. It makes me feel at home.

I finished my shower and got out, covering myself in more strawberry scented product. My scent was throwing off the

combination, but soon enough, I would be back to my normal scent. I smirked as I got dressed and locked the house down. I

stepped through the closet with the bags of food to find everyone waiting, pacing, and crying in my bedroom.

“Where the fuck have you been?” My mother lunged for me. I barely had time to put the food down before she was sobbing in my

arms. “I thought I had lost you.” Her ragged words hit my stomach and I pulled her close.

“I’m fine. I got out.” I pulled back and kissed her cheek.

“What do you mean you got out?” Wendy called.

I dropped down and picked Carly up. “Hey baby girl. Miss me?”

Carly’s eyes were full of pain. “I thought you left me, too.”

I hugged her close. “I can’t say I won’t ever leave you, but I will tell you I will never want to leave you, baby girl.” I clutched her to

my chest and looked at my friends. Even Lynn was there. “You look better.”

She smiled. “This place has given me back my peace.” I watched her eyes darken. “Now I’m focused on becoming stronger.”

I nodded as Carly pulled away. “Grandma started to train us together, even me.‘

I looked at my mom, and she nodded. “We all needed a distraction this last week.” Her eyes searched mine. “We were all a little scared when you disappeared.”

I nodded. “Porch wine later. I brought a few bottles.” I smiled at them and all eyes turned to Carly. But my sweet girl wasn’t

stupid.

“You just don’t want me to hear it.”

I nodded. “I don’t. If I could keep it from you entirely, I would.” I kissed her head. “Now how bout we make dinner? I brought a

few frozen pizzas, and then we get ready for bed.”

Carly looked up at me. “Can I sleep in here with you?” Her voice was soft and held a tiny bit of worry.

I kissed her temple. “I’m not going anywhere; baby.” I hugged her tighter. “Of course you can.”

Wendy and Toya gave me a side hug as they gathered the bags. But the Toya turned. “She’s been too worried about you to do

much else. Why don’t you go down to the tree? She hasn’t been to see her dad all week and I know she has wanted to.”

I nodded. “Let’s go see daddy.”

Carly smiled. “Okay.” She wiggled down and then ran downstairs.

I turned to my mom and Lynn. “Two weeks.”
