Episode 323: I Need Nothing ElseCustomers bustled through the doors on opening day at Ava’s bookstore. Xavier hung out in the background while she buzzed around, checking that everyone found what they wanted. Bowie helped her out a lot, as did the other staff, but it was Ava coming alive with such a passion for the books she recommended, like she truly believed they’d save somebody’s life just to get lost in the pages a few hours. It was the same way he felt when people lost themselves in his music.She looked so happy for the first time in weeks. He’d do anything to preserve that so when the pink roses arrived from her father, Xavier trashed the card. Avalon’s insides roiled the moment she saw him. Afraid of what bombshell he’d drop next. "Hi." Sebastian shoved his hands in his pockets. "I’ve been so worried about you. I can’t take wondering anymore. How are you? Did everything go okay with your dad? I’m so sorry, you have to believe me I didn’t want that to happen. My dad told him where to find you. Tell me you’re okay?" She stood speechless until Xavier hooked an arm around her. "Go home rich boy, I’m looking after her." "I am okay because Xavier makes me feel that way. He makes me feel so much better than you ever did. I don’t know how I ever loved you but be certain I’ll never make that mistake again. I’m like a child with you who had to learn her lesson. You’re poison to me. I-" "Babe, maybe you should leave it at that." Xavier squeezed her tight. "He gets the message." Sebastian’s head dropped. "It’s fine. I deserve whatever she wants to dish out. As long as you are okay Avalon that’s all that matters to me. I don’t need anything else."
