Chapter 187

• Lily POV
• The wheels hummed softly against the road, but the car was a cocoon of quiet warmth. I leaned back, relaxed, my fingertips idly stroking Ethan’s broad palm, soaking up the heat and strength beneath his skin. The neon-streaked night outside rushed past, but my mind was still stuck on the little “drama” that had just ended.
• “They really put on a hell of a show tonight.” I turned my head, looking at Ethan, his eyes closed, my voice lighter now that everything had settled. “And that ending? I loved it.” Grace and her mother, Daisy, reaping what they had sown and looking utterly wrecked, were still vivid in my mind.
