LOGINI nodded. "Don't let me trip." "I'll do my best." With a shared laugh, we headed out the door. Esme was there at the door, hanging back. Gracian stepped away from me and linked arms with her. "We'll see you soon." I nodded and watched them go. We stood in the foyer of the building. From wh

Charles I had never thought I would raise such a stupid child. He probably had contacted the underbelly of the human world for the funds that he probably had never planned to pay back. It had likely always been the plan to leave Grace saddled with all of it on her own. It had probably never even
