“I’ll convince him, you’ll see,” I tell her quickly, getting up and pecking her cheek.

After dinner, I head to my room, and when I step inside, I find Gannon sitting on the end of my bed. I stop at the door and peer over at him, wondering if he is here to argue more over Kade.

“Please Gannon, I don’t want to argue with you,” I whisper.

“I’m not here to argue, just come here,” he says, patting the spot beside him on the bed. I glance at the spot before being nudged into the room from behind, and I jump, looking over my shoulder to see it is Liam.

“She can use my old phone,” he says, tossing it to Gannon.

“I factory reset it,” Liam says, and I look at Gannon, wondering what they are talking about and why both of them are suddenly in my room.

I move closer to Gannon, slightly nervous next to Liam. When I am close enough to him, he reaches out and grabs my hand before moving further back on the bed and pulling me to sit between his legs.

Liam shuts the door, and Gannon wraps his arm around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder. I try to get up, but his hold is too strong.

“Watch,” he says, holding the phone out in front of me.

“Gannon?” I murmur, knowing Kade wouldn’t like me sitting on the man’s lap, though it is hard not to lean into his warm embrace, his scent soothing and familiar.

“Abbie, stop. I am not stopping you from going, but this? You need to learn, or I will risk the king’s wrath and order you to reject him,” Gannon says.

“What?”

“In case you need me, please. Just this once, listen to what I am saying. I understand you made up your mind. But I need to show you how to use this,” I sigh, but decide to go along with it.

He shows me some features on the phone, opening and closing messages and the phone book.

“Gannon I can’t send texts, I can’t read,” I tell him.

“This button here, you just speak into it, and it will convert your speech to text, then hit send. Liam also set it up so it will read messages back to you,” he tells me while showing me how to work the device.

“You want me to text you?” I ask him, and he nods against my shoulder.

“Mine and Liam’s number are in here, so is the king’s. If you want to come home, call me or Liam. We will answer, no matter how late it is. Anything Abbie, you call us and we will come get you,”Gannon tells me.

“Gannon, Kade isn’t …”

“I know you don’t want to believe anything bad about him, but just take the phone, Abbie,” he says, placing it in my hands. I take it and he switches the screen off.

“Now unlock it,” he says, and I do.

“Show me how to use it, like I just showed you. I am not leaving until I know you can work this phone,” he says, and I focus back on the screen.

It takes a few tries and Gannon corrects me, but I eventually get the hang of it. When he is satisfied that I have it figured out, he sighs before leaning down and passing me a bag he has by his feet. “I got you a few things and Clarice went into town and bought you a few different sets of clothes.”

“Gannon, you shouldn’t …”

“I can’t come with you, so stop. Let me do this and just accept it,” he says, tapping my leg for me to get up. I let him up, and he stares at me for a few seconds before wrapping his arms around me and pressing his lips to my forehead.

“Keep practicing with the phone, Liam put credit on it for you, already,” he tells me, and I nod. He then leaves me, wandering out of the room, and I sit back down on the bed.

The next morning, I am woken early by someone knocking on my door. Before I can even get up, it opens and Liam strolls in. I sit up, worried. He holds his hand out in a placating gesture.

“Gannon is on patrol. I am just checking if you can use the phone properly, Gannon asked me to double check again. He said Kade is picking you up this afternoon.” I nod and he unplugs the phone from the charger sitting next to me and hands it to me.

“Now show me how to use it. You take this phone with you no matter where you go. Make sure you answer it if he calls, because if you don’t, I know he will go to hunt you down. The king can be brutal when punishing us and you don’t want Gannon punished, Abbie,” he tells me.

I nod and show him. “I will take you to see Kade this morning,” Liam tells me, and I gulp, staring up at him with worry.
