Without another word to her, I sent a mindlink to Beta Taylor, having him meet us in the parlor. I knew he wasn't far, and knowing Taylor, he and Derek were most likely to listen to this conversation nearby. They were both around during the Rachel thing, and they knew how devastated I was after she "died."

Sure enough, Taylor entered the parlor within seconds of my mindlinking him.

"You called?" He asked, trying to act as if he wasn't listening; it made me roll my eyes before I could think.

"I need a guest room set up for Rachel," I murmured, meeting his eyes. I could see the questions lingering in his gaze, and they were questions I couldn't be bothered to answer right now. "She'll be staying here for a while."

He nodded, though he looked a bit uneasy about the choice.

I felt Rachel relax beside me, relieved that I wasn't kicking her out... at least I wasn't kicking her out tonight. I still needed to figure out where we both stood with one another before I could think about the future and how to move past it all.

"It's so good to see you again, Gavin," she said softly; her tear-filled eyes meeting mine. "You have no idea how badly I missed you."
