Lavender had spent most of the day resting after the crazy night she had last night. It had drained her emotionally and physically. But it was well worth it. She got her friend back finally and no one was hurt. Seeing Octavius free from the demon’s grip was self satisfying and a huge relief off of her shoulders. Sure Malachi had walked in and found out about what she was up to, but he didn’t seem mad or upset with her. She was sure he’d give her a lecture about keeping things from him? But he seemed supportive and fine with it. Maybe he was waiting till she felt more rested like she did tonight now that she had taken it easy?
After tucking Truth into bed, she kissed his forehead and turned towards the bedroom door. She paused there then she saw Malachi standing there in the hallway, watching her. He looked happy, so she smiled in return as she approached him. She didn’t want to bring up last night if she could help it. She just wanted to have a nice quiet night with him now that she felt better and not so stressed. She felt especially lucky to have him and wanted him close. He wasn’t mad at her which meant a lot. “What are you up to?” She said with a smile then leaned up to softly kiss his lips.
