Sanctuary Interrupted

~Aria~

I didn’t go home that day. Stayed in Hayes’s house the whole night, curled up in his arms like the outside world didn’t exist. We stayed up late talking crazy plans, laughing about dog names and ridiculous tattoos until my belly hurt.

He made me hot chocolate twice, wiped every tear, and held me so tight I almost believed everything was gonna be okay. No sex. Just him being my safe place
