“So what do we do now?”

I felt him shift until his entire upper body hovered over mine. He stared into my eyes and I held him with my gaze. “You promise to love me and never leave me again.”

“And you?”

“I promise to chain you to my bed if you try.”

I batted my eyelashes dramatically. “You say the most romantic things.”

“Damn,” Keenan murmured. “He turned to Di and said, “My mistake, Di. Your mother is a super crazy, whack job.”

She flipped him off and leaned forward. “So we still have a major problem on our hands.”

Just then the door burst open and what seemed like the entire police force rushed in, shouting for everyone to get down.

Everyone put their hands up and assumed they were there for Keiran, but we were in for the shock of our lives when the police bypassed him and placed the love of his life in handcuffs.

“Lake Monroe, you’re wanted for questioning in the murder of Mitchell Masters. You have the right to remain silent…”
