CHAPTER 71
~Spring's POV~
Storm's eyes narrowed.
Tyrion sighed. "Please don't start, Kael."
I rolled my eyes and let my head fall back against the cushion, finally letting myself laugh—really laugh.
Whatever happened next, one thing was clear: I wasn't alone, and this time, I'd never let anyone take that from me again.
Then my phone buzzed. I checked it. It was a call from home.
It was Mum. I answered, passing a glance around. "Hello?"
My mates all seemed to catch the cue and fell silent, even though Jace and Kael mouthed words to each other and threw a can of water at each other.
"Hello. Spring, dear, when are you heading home for the celebration?"
I rolled my eyes at how she didn't ask about how I was doing but cared about me showing up for Rose's celebration.
Still, I get my smiles in and answer. "Soon, once I wrap up here."
"Alright. Your brother won't be coming. The driver will pick you up instead."
"Okay. I understand."
