Bo's POV

Tamsin had been frozen with the same look of shock on her face for a while now. I couldn't read her and that bothered me.

Eventually, she turns away and just sits there in silence.

"Why would you ask me that? You don't even know me, Bo. I'm dark fae. I could kill you in your sleep if I wanted. You shouldn't trust me." She says, still looking away.

"True. Very true, I give you that. But I'm trying to trust you." I reply.

She's silent again and I'm back to being at a loss.

"Look, Tamsin. I'm not forcing you. I just can't ask Dyson to do it. He's too we-"

She cuts me off, putting her palm over my mouth, her face hovering just inches from mine for a while. Those beautiful green eyes were enough to make me squirm in my seat.

"You talk too much. A result of Kenzi, I imagine. I won't stay with you, Bo. I need you to figure things out first. I saw how you looked at Lauren and how you hugged Dyson. Are you with Lauren or are you with Dyson? Pick one. I understand that you'll always feel something for them but, trust me, I'm not good for you. I'm not the better alternative." She sighs.

She moves her hand from my mouth and steps out of the car. She opens my door and offers her hand. We start to walk and I can't help but notice how beautiful she really is.

"Why are you looking at me that way?" She asks, leaving me at my doorstep.

"Nothing, you're just really beautiful.. I hope you give me a chance to get to know you, Tamsin. I'd really like to.." I reply, kissing her cheek goodnight.

"I don't recommend that but we'll see, Bo." She smirks, walking away.


"Bo-Bo? You okay?" She asks, wiping the sleep out of her eyes.

"I'm not okay, Kenz. I'm stuck and confused." I whimper.

"Come on, lets talk. Get comfortable cause we're figuring this out tonight." She says, walking into the kitchen for a bottle of wine.

I go upstairs and put on pajamas, not my usual, but I want comfort tonight. Kenzi is seated on our couch with two wine glasses, sitting Indian style. I mimic her position and take my glass.

"So, what's on your mind, my sista?" She says with a grin.

"It's Dyson. And Lauren. And Tamsin. It's so complicated and messy. I feel like I can't have one without hurting the other." I groan.

She sighs. "I think you have to do what's best for you, Bo. You're always helping others and never putting yourself first. I think you can afford to this time. Lauren and Dyson.. They'll always be there. But Tamsin, maybe not. Yes, I don't like her but it's not about me. It's about you."

I nod in agreement. I know that Dyson could move on, he can find something within Kenzi and treat her well. But Lauren is a different story and I know I can't be with her.

"Thank you, Kenzi. I'm so glad I have you." I reply, giving her my biggest hug ever.

"Hey, what are sisters for?" She says, kissing my forehead.

"Could you do me a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Could you maybe get Dyson to do me the favor one last time? Then he's all yours, I promise, Kenz." I plead giving her my best puppy face.

"I guess I could. The things I do for you. Now, go get your beauty sleep before you wake up wanting to drain everyone dry." She smiles.

I couldn't ask for anyone better than Kenzi. I may not get the best sleep but I'm going to bed with a game plan and a weight off my chest.


Tamsin's POV

It's a little early to be downing shots but after last night I need them. I was given the day off to keep tabs on Dyson but I have nothing better to do than work. The familiar burn of whiskey keeps me occupied.

I don't know what Bo wants from me. One minute it's Lauren, then it's Dyson. I'm starting to think I'm just a last resort.

"Already with the shots, Tamsin? Is there anything you need?" He asks looking concerned.

"Nah, I just have nothing better to do with my day.." I reply.

Bo and Kenzi walk into the Dal, heading right towards me.

"Excuse me." I get up and walk to the bathroom.

I splash my face with water to calm my nerves and lean on the sink. I didn't expect to see Bo this morning. 'Get your shit together, you're a Valkyrie.'

"Why do you run from me like a disease, Tamsin?" Bo asks. I hadn't even heard her come in.

I can't think of an answer so I just turn to face her. She steps closer to me and looks me in the eyes. It feels like she can see straight through me so I break eye contact.

"Look at me.." She says, tilting my face towards her.

"I'm not going to force myself on you, even though I would love to do nothing more than ravage you. I'm going to do what you ask, but you have to give me a fighting chance. Don't run from me, Tamsin." She says.

I sigh and relish her touch on my face.

"You won't like what you find, Bo. But it's a deal. I won't run.." I reply, still looking into her eyes.

A vibration from my pocket ruins the moment, causing her to pull away and distance herself.

"I have to take it, it's Lauren."

She waves it off as I answer the phone letting me know it's okay.

"Yeah?"

"I've identified your fae, you should probably come in for this. And bring Bo." She says, with concern.

"On our way." I reply, never having broken eye contact with Bo.

She's the first to leave and I follow soon after.

"Kenzi, we have to go."

"But I just got a good start on my tab, Bo." She complains.

"It's important, Kenzi. And you have to do me that favor, remember?"

She sighs and chugs her beer, letting out a burp for the ages.

"That was disgusting." I grimace, crossing my arms and walking to my truck.

"Trick, keep my tab open, I'll be back." She says.

Sometimes I wonder how she can keep all that booze in her tiny body, but then realize I drink much more that she does.
