Daybreak found Natalie outside in Blake’s backyard playing
with Caesar as she walked the stones of his garden again. She seemed to have
healed nicely and was finding herself growing comfortable again in his presence
and it made him happy knowing that he hadn’t completely ruined things with his secrets.
Yet he knew her time here was short lived. Natalie still had not contacted her
parents to let them know she was safe. He figured she was too afraid of being
thrown into a room and locked away again and wanted to enjoy her freedom while
she could.
