Out of the Shadows

Vincent was still very concerned, even though Ophelia didn’t say it was anything about Maeve, Lucien or the baby. She was clearly distraught and worked up, and even though the LaRues were mostly dead, it didn’t mean they didn’t have allies that might eventually want retribution.

Did you get a look at them? He looked past her and looked around where she’d come from, he didn’t imagine they’d have followed all the way there, they’d have wanted to stay hidden in the crowds, but considering what happened to Lucien’s family with the LaRues, and what happened with Maeve and the asshole she used to work for, and the fact that he himself had enemies from his past, his head was now on a swivel.

Why don’t you come inside. I’ve got a fire going, you should warm up, and when you’re ready to leave I’ll be going with you, no ifs ands or buts. Ophelia wasn’t technically his family, but as Lucien considered her family, and Lucien was now his family, by extension that made Ophelia family in his books.
