Reuben’s deep voice broke the silence inside the car. “Use it when you’re ready.” Aurora Valenmoor stared down at the thick contract resting on her lap.

Naturally, Laura was not welcoming to Darryl. When she saw Laura scolding Darryl, Lolita looked calm and she had no intention of stopping Laura. Darryl scratched his head and was really embarrassed. "Sorry, I came unannounced.” He was about to turn around to leave after he said that.

What was once a small city turned into a deep, writhing metropolis with buildings that disappear into the clouds around us as I drive my mother toward the performing arts center in the middle of downtown, the city washed in twinkling lights that reflect off glass skyscrapers and wet pavement. There used to be a forest here–a deep, endless one. Roads were narrow and made of dirt instead of multi-lane highways and bridges that span miles, that span entire pack territories that linger beneath the shadows. Crescent Falls is… too loud.
