slightly and cracked open one heavy lid to see Bain and Izzy staring down at him. His gaze shifted to the petite frame curled up next to him. He sighed and shook his head. “It’s not what you think.”
Bain laughed. “Famous morning-after words.”
Izzy didn’t resist the urge this time . The back of her hand made solid contact with his chest. Uriah rolled his eyes and tried to shift out of Marie’s hold. She murmured something softly and held on a little tighter.
“It looks like you are pretty damn comfy with my baby sister.”
Bain cocked his head slightly and grinned. “Yeah, but it looks like they are both still dressed.” He dodged her hand this time and moved out of the living room. “I’ll get the coffee going.”
Izzy watched him go, before turning back to Uriah. “What is she doing here?”
“She’s been trying to get a hold of you. She showed up here yesterday after she fought with Marko… He’s a real prick, you know that?”
Izzy’s brow furrowed. “Why? What happened?”
Uriah looked to the still-sleeping Marie in his arms. “He called her and said some pretty hurtful and unacceptable things last night.”
“What happened?”
Uriah frowned. “They broke up.”
“I gathered that since she’s asleep in your arms, but why?”
“She found out he cheated on her.” One corner of his mouth tipped up slightly. “She called him a cheating slime-ball asshat.”
Izzy suppressed a laugh. “That sounds like something Marie would say.”
Uriah felt Marie shaking next to him. Casting his gaze back to her, he caught her attempting to hide a smile.
“You’re awake ,” he accused.
She laughed and opened her eyes. “Yeah,” she admitted before looking to her oldest sister briefly and then back to Uriah. “I was eavesdropping, but when you say asshat, it just makes me laugh.”
Uriah shook his head and shifted, forcing her to sit up as he did.
Marie narrowed her gaze as she focused back on Izzy. “I tried to call you… like a lot yesterday.”
Izzy sighed. “Yes, so I was told. Now , you want to talk about what happened with Marko?”
Marie shrugged. “I guess. I need to get cleaned up though.”
Izzy nodded. “We can talk upstairs.” Her gaze shifted to Uriah. “Besides, Bain needs to speak with you.”
Uriah dipped his chin and left the room, following the bitter scent of coffee that floated from the kitchen.
Marie watched him leave before she pushed off the couch and headed upstairs with Izzy hot on her heels. Izzy closed the door behind them after entering her room. Marie made her way into the bathroom and started the shower. She pulled her sweater over her head and briefly held it to her face… it smelled like him. She couldn’t help but smile. Izzy cleared her throat , Marie folded the sweater, and set it on the counter.
“Want me to go toss that in the wash for you?” Izzy asked with a hint of sarcasm to her tone . She was picking up more than just powers while in the Middle World—she was picking up some of Bain’s personality. She couldn’t help but grin. She didn’t miss Marie’s eye roll.
“No, it doesn’t need to be washed.”
Izzy laughed. “So talk to me about what happened and how it led to you sleeping next to Uriah.”
Marie sighed. “Fine, but let me get in the shower, then you can come in and we can talk about it.” Izzy turned her back and closed the door, until Marie called out to let her know she could come back in.
Hopping up on the counter, Izzy sat and listened to all that had happened in the past twenty-four hours. Marko was a grade-A jerk, there was no question, but what struck Izzy was that Marie didn’t seem to care about Marko at all this morning. Mostly she talked about Uriah. Izzy didn’t even attempt to hide the smile that graced her face. Uriah was a good man and from what Marie was telling her, he’d stood up for her little sister. He’d helped her, and he’d comforted her when she needed it. The water shut off,
