I had no idea why Cleo and Caspian were comforting me after everything that happened. With them here with me and hearing Syn's words, I finally felt a semblance of peace since he died.
"I love you," I whispered into Cleo's ear. Her head snapped to me and a tear fell down her cheek as she smiled. I looked over to Caspian who was crouched down beside me and looking at the lawyer. "Cas, I love you."
His eyes widened as he turned to me and I smiled. "We love you too, Xavier."
We all had plenty to talk about but I knew we'd be okay. Cleo sat on my lap and I leaned my head against her shoulder and held Caspian's hand as we listened to the lawyer.
"Queen was supposed to go next but I'm going to skip you for a minute, Princess." The lawyer read awkwardly. Queen smiled and wiped a tear from her face.
"Caspian and Cleo Deveaux, the two of you are quite spectacular, to be honest. I don't know to this day, how either of you managed to weasel your way into my life. Is there some sort of technique that Xavier taught you? Hmm? Whatever it is, thank you for doing it. A lot of my funniest moments these past few weeks were from the two of you.
Cleo, keep being you because you are amazing. Caspian, my acquaintance, I'd like you to know that as I'm writing this, I see you as my friend. Don't get too big-headed though, asshole. To both of you, I leave a few of my clubs that will be shown to you after this. I hope both of you achieve everything you wish to. Do me a favor though? Avenge me. Annoy Xavier every day of his life, just as he did me. Take care of one another."
"Will do," Cleo said as she smirked at me.

I smiled at the trio in front of me and gripped my knee to keep from getting emotional. I'd been doing a pretty good job at not losing it but my tolerance was wearing thin. This hurt. I missed Syn more than anything.
"Last, but certainly not least, Queen. This one is one of the more painful ones to write. I hope you're okay. I know you're probably hurting but please don't. I'm aware it's not that simple but I'd like you to be happy, that's all I ever wanted when it came to you. I'd leave a lot to you but I'm afraid you'd nag me from beyond the grave. There is a bank account available for you if you'd ever like to use it.
