spend the night in a cell, even if it was with me. “Please.”
I placed her back on her feet, and her chin wobbled. She

officers. It’s my fault.”
“Misunderstanding or not, you’re under arrest.” One of

There was no point arguing with them.
Colton had to drag Lila away from me as I was

“Please,” Lila pleaded. “Can I just… hug him?”
The officer who handcuffed me beckoned her over. She
slid closer to me, pressed her nose against my throat. “I’m
sorry. This is my fault.”
Lila sniffled, and my heart twisted. My lips brushed
against her forehead, and she hugged me tighter. “I’m
sorry.”
“I got you,” I said again.
Her teary eyes were the last thing I saw as they pulled
me away from her. Lila brought her hand up and she
touched her dreamcatcher necklace at her throat, as
though it soothed her.
It gutted me, because she was crying for me.
