I’m a bundle of nerves during the drive home, constantly glancing in the back seat, at the sidewalks lining the streets, in my rearview mirror. The sight of West’s headlights is the only thing that brings me any sense of comfort in this … whatever this is.

When I pull into the driveaway, Loki’s car isn’t there. Weird, since he told me via text that he wanted to talk to me.

I check my messages and, sure enough, he sent me one.

Loki: I completely spaced off that Nik had a team BBQ tonight that parents are supposed to go to. I won’t be home until around ten, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to talk. Either we can do it late tonight or early in the morning. It’s your choice.

Great. That means we’ll have to wait to ask him about the papers that West has. I’ll make sure it gets done, though. I owe West that much.

I’m actually starting to owe West a lot at this point, something I’m not a huge fan of.

I hate being in debt to people.

Sighing, I climb out of the car right as West parks beside the curb in front of our house. We meet in the middle of the lawn as West pockets his keys.

“Hey, so Loki isn’t home,” I tell him. “And he won’t be home until later—about ten.”

West’s expression briefly plummets. “I actually have to be somewhere later.”

My brows furrow. “Where?”

He scuffs the tip of his boot against the grass while staring down at the road. “Just somewhere.”

“Okay …” I drag out the word. “If you don’t want to tell me, that’s cool.” I don’t bother pointing out that I’ve told him a ton of stuff.

I turn to head inside when he folds his fingers around my arm.

“It’s not really a big deal,” he says. “It’s just a house meeting Holden is making us have, and I don’t feel like talking about it, because then it reminds me that that’s my new home for now.”

I twist around to face him. “You wanna …? You wanna sleep on the sofa or something? I’m sure Loki wouldn’t mind if you crashed here for a couple of nights.”

His gaze carries mine, the corners of his lips quirking. “While I appreciate the offer, Loki’s probably got a lot on his plate already, so I think I should probably just stay with Holden and Ellis until I can get my own place.” He sketches his fingertip along my cheekbone. “It’s cute you’re worried about me.”

Despite my erratic heartbeat, I narrow my eyes at him, a protest tickling at the tip of my tongue. But I stifle it as someone appears on the sidewalk. It’s my neighbor, out walking their dog. Their appearance, though, reminds me of how I had thought I was alone tonight, but I wasn’t.

How long was that person watching me in the alleyway before they appeared? Why were they watching me? What were they planning on doing when they caught me?

I gulp as a dark thought creeps into the crevasses of my mind.
