Mate bonds.” He says, as if trying out the word. “Actually…” “What did you want to speak about?” I demand. They’re
“Let’s meet at the institution to further discuss. There’s a lot I can’t say over the phone.” She says, “Just call me when you get here.” And with that, the line goes dead. Maddox and I share a look, and I shake my head. I don’t like the sound of Evelyn’s tone. I’ve been uneasy about Aeliana being
“The doctors don’t think it’s a good idea for her to leave, much less after her escape.” “I didn't like leaving her there,” Maddox groans. “She seemed done.” His voice drops, “She didn’t even fight it like last time.” “It’s a good thing, is it not?” Danielle frowns. “No,” he sighs. “It’s worrying

I swallow, unable to form words or an explanation while everyone stares at me, waiting. Mara takes Aeliana’s hand, “Sit with us.” She says, winking at me. I love this woman, she’ll throw a bone right when you need one. Dave chose a good one, everyone did. But me? I think I got the best one. “Oh-ok
She nods, fiddling with her fingers. Again. Her gaze lowers, “Forgive me, but I only say this because I worry and care, but she’s been unusual.” “Unusual how?” I ask, the words coming out so fast I nearly bite my tongue. She shrugs, “I don’t know how to explain it, but she’s different.” Oh good.
I’m only just arriving from picking up Audrey and Danielle from their date as they called it, but I call it spending my and Rowan’s money on hairstyles that they’ll be over and done with within a week. I don’t understand why they never go to Audrey’s salon, or why I haven’t seen Aeliana leave the ho
