*Benjamin*
We’ve stayed in this cabin for so long that I’m surprised Jareth hasn’t come to drag his mate away from me. Delilah has been snuggled into me, her head on my chest as I rub her back for hours now, neither of us willing to admit we have to leave.
“Calvin seems like a very good man,” she says softly.
“He is,” I admit. “But it’s not because of me.”
“You’re doing what you can now, Ben,” she says, looking at me. “You can’t change what happened. You just have to do what you can to be there for the two of them now.”
“Four of them,” I smile, happy for Calvin and Molly. “They’ve both found their mates, even if we haven’t gotten to Ada yet.”
She lays her head back down, playing with the hair on my chest. “She’s lucky to have him. She’ll need someone so kind and patient.”
