That he preferred playing video games inside rather than going out and playing with the other kids on our street, riding bikes around until the lights c
Avery’s POV“Bjorn, stop!”I ran across the lawn just in time for Bjorn to shift back into pup form and start rolling around in the grass, covering his coat with morning dew.“You shift back right this instant!”Bjorn whined, but obeyed. The boy sat in front of me again, his hair sticking up in all
