Chapter 16 Gianna

• It was well after midnight, my movie had finished, and I was currently looking at the city out of the small window while I was curled up on the sofa, under a heavy blanket. Currently battling so hard to stay awake. A battle I was not doing particularly well at winning, though I only realized that every few minutes when I would suddenly awaken with a start. But, I still continued to fight sleep valiantly. I needed to stay awake! Frankie should be home any moment, but until she got me a key cut for her place she only had the one key, and I currently had it while she was out at work, and I was in the small apartment.
• So, until she arrived home, I was doing my best to stay awake, to allow myself to let her back into her home. Ever since we had been told two days ago of the possibility, though in my mind it was a certainty that Dalton had been loitering around mine and Tavi’s apartment complex, I had not returned home.
• Tavi had returned, not allowing herself to be pushed out by the threat of Dalton, though she would be at no risk from him. Ultimately, it wasn't her he was looking for. She had her brother staying with her for a few nights just in case Dalton did try turning up. And her brother was a warrior within their pack, so if any protection was in fact needed, then Tavi should be just fine.
