“Wait,” I said.
He turned back but didn't raise his eyes to mine.
“Where is my mother?” I had to find out if that demon was my father. I needed to know.
Julian scoffed. “It was as you said. She disappeared when we needed her most.” He walked out of the suite, letting the door shut behind him.
Crap.
I pushed the bedroom door open closing my eyes tight. “Rory,” I said.
Mumbling came from the direction of the bed.
“Rory! It’s time to go!”
“Shit,” he muttered, and the rattling of clothes followed the squeak of the bed. I spun back out of the room, closing the door behind me.
I took out a tiny bottle of gin and downed it. The burn was delicious and calmed the anxiety that was still churning my stomach. I prayed that Shit-face wouldn't follow me home and refused to consider the fact I would probably have to go after him. That called for a second tiny bottle of alcohol.
As I set the empty bottle on the edge of the desk, the bedroom door opened and Rory sauntered out, fully clothed, healed and carrying a backpack over his shoulder.
“Ready?” he asked.
I took a deep breath and checked to be sure I had a few more bottles in my pocket. “As I’ll ever be,” I replied, grabbing my passport and extending the handle of my old suitcase.
Finally, it was time to go home.
