Chapter 190

• Nathan POV
• Harper’s weight is soft against me, her arms still wrapped around my neck even in sleep. She’s completely out, head tucked against my shoulder, breath finally steady. But I keep stroking her back, slow and gentle, just like I was when she was awake. My fingers trace the curve of her spine through Theo’s shirt, and I whisper to her even though she can’t hear me now.
• “You did good, baby girl,” I murmur quietly, my lips brushing her temple. “You stayed strong. You kept him here.”
