Every spare minute I have, I check her tracker to make sure she’s where she’s supposed to be. Not that Jag would be stupid enough to let her walk off again. I made sure they all knew the consequences of it happening a second time when they got back without her yesterday. I don’t think many of them had seen me so enraged. They certainly weren’t used to it.

But she stays where she’s supposed to be all day, and I watch her arrive home on the back of Jag’s bike from my position in the garage. Jealousy flares at her arms being wrapped around him but settles as soon as she climbs off and makes her way over to the garage. To me. She doesn’t come in, standing in the large open doorway instead so the sun is behind her as she watches me watch her.

“Good day?” I ask, and she shrugs as if it doesn’t matter.

“It was fine. Everyone cooed over Jag,” she answers dismissively before changing the subject and asking her own question. “How come I didn’t hear your bikes over the years?”

“You would’ve sometimes, but the sound of one bike is different to the sound of five or ten.” Plus, I used to tell them all to park a street or two away so she wouldn’t notice them roaring up to her, but I guess that was kind of pointless in the end. She doesn’t seem overly satisfied with my half answer but nods anyway.

“Music or films?” I ask, and her eyebrows jump slightly, but she doesn’t need too much time to think on it.

“Films,” she says before making her way inside the clubhouse. She returns outside a couple of minutes later with her pad and pencils and heads over to the woods, smiling at the prospect on the gate, and that’s the last I see of her until we sit down in the pit for dinner. Then I make up for barely seeing her all day by watching her every move like a fucking stalker. Knox has to repeat what he says to me on more than one occasion because she has my undivided attention where she sits.

Which is how I know there’s something up with her.

She smiles politely and answers questions, sitting with a group of the club girls tonight, but she doesn’t jump to join in. I thought she’d been getting used to everyone—she certainly seemed more involved over the past few days—but tonight she’s more detached than she was the first night here. I check with Jag that nothing noteworthy happened at school, apart from the looks he got for following her around all day, but there’s nothing.

The next day, I send Vaughn and instruct him to drop her off and hang outside in case she’s feeling suffocated, but she still comes home withdrawn. She asks me about the prospects and I find out she loves the beach, even living inland, but she still spends the rest of the afternoon in the woods and comes back for dinner, where, once again, she’s barely present.
