LOGINLucas didn’t feel better, even though he knew he should have. Diane was very quick to suspect her stepson, calling him in a frenzy after Rodger went into surgery at the hospital. “I know you did this!” “Diane, how the hell could I have done anything? I didn’t even know Rodger was in town.” “You’
Lucas felt like he could light the whole damn world on fire, and he’d just watch it burn. He was done taking everyone else’s bullshit. He’d remained quiet, reserved, and regal. This rebellion, even if no one saw, was everything he had buried. Kit and Jones got back to Lucas in less than one day. F

Though she tried to stay away from Lucas, Elaine somehow kept running into him. She attributed it to the upcoming Feast. She had duties to fulfill as Luna, even if she still didn’t want to be married to him. But Lucas relished any instance he saw his wife. He’d find small conversations to have with
Elaine was in and out through the night, her brain scrambled as she tried to take in everything she had gone through the day before. She ended up throwing up over the side of the bed, but Lucas had left a trash can there for her, so she didn’t make a mess. “Since when was he ever this considerate?”
