"No, I was just reading about hearts because Iniko has a heart condition and I wanted to understand it better." Cassidy climbed onto a stool between me and my mother. "His heart doesn't work right so he needs medication and he can't play active games and he gets tired easily. It's really sad." My chest tightened. Ambelyn's son had a serious heart condition.

I badly needed a new pair as soon as possible but I know my bankroll for the month can't take it. I slammed my door in frustration and just immediately, a part of my ceiling fell right on me. Great.
