**Poppy’s POV **After the tree of death tried to kill me, we head back into the clinic for breakfast. Jake leaves to check on his patients, promising to catch up with us soon. I want to tell him no, that I need him with me, but that will only worry him and Leo. I feel fine; the chill I had last ni
His mouth twitches slightly, but he doesn’t quite smile.“Good,” he says.Good? I stare at him.“That’s not an answer.”“No,” he agrees. “It isn’t, but you also didn’t ask a question.”My hands clench at my sides, which is more Leo’s style than mine. I force them to relax.“Ronnie…”“When something

** Paige’s POV ** By the time we make it back home after dinner with Poppy, I’m exhausted. I love my sister so much, but she can be hard work, especially if she thinks there is a mystery to solve. I can’t blame her, though. If the roles were reversed, I’d be the same. I know she is only looking ou
** Paige’s POV ** “I don’t need an entourage,” I argue, standing in the middle of the living room with my arms crossed, glaring at my four very stubborn men. “I’m going to see my sister. That’s it.
