Beautifully Broken

I shake my head, tears running down my cheeks. “No. I don’t know what happens next. I’ve only ever known Monica’s and the Harris’ house. Where do I go now? What do I do with myself? I didn’t apply for college because I thought I’d be on the run with Bane by now. The only job experience I have is working at the Red Onion and while I have a little money to keep me afloat, it’s not gonna last long. And what about physical therapy? The doctor said I need to go three times a week. I can’t afford that!”

Rex shakes his head, grinning. “Piper, you’re my wife now. I will take care of you. You can do whatever you want with your life. Live wherever you want, although I’m kind of hoping it’s with me. And my mom’s already taken care of your physical therapy situation.”

I wipe my nose with the back of my hand. “You want me to move in with you?”

He laughs and pulls me into him. “Yeah, Babe. I want you to move in. I want to start a life with you and have kids one day.” He looks down his nose at me. “Are you regretting getting married?”

“What!” I wiggle out of his arms look him in the eyes. “No. I just…I guess it hit me that we never discussed any of this. With today and going to see Bane later, I think I’m a bit of an emotional mess.”

“You are.” He presses his lips against mine for a chaste kiss. “But you’re my mess.”
