For some reason, I never truly thought about the others and how they saw our future. Safe to say that was the ‘weird’ for today, but I can’t say I’m disappointed with the answer!

The final bell rang, the bright tinkling echoing through the locker room as I finished changing. It had been just over a week since finding out that Brad was trying to get out of jail, and we still hadn’t heard any new information. At first, I was extra vigilant despite knowing he was still behind bars. My mind was constantly prepared, setting me more on edge than I had been previously, but as the days went on, I calmed. I knew he could—and probably would—appear at any time once he was out, and I kept that reminder tucked in the back of my head, but I relaxed enough that I was no longer looking over my shoulder every few minutes.

Thank goodness too, I thought as I shouldered my bag and made my way out of the locker room. Constantly feeling as if someone was watching me was not a fun sensation, and I was happy that my overactive imagination had somewhat settled. It probably helped that Lyla had gone with me again to self-defense on Monday night. It might not have been much, but it was at least something. If worse came to worst, that was all I could really do to be prepared.

As I made my way to the front entryway, I found Reid waiting for me on the other end of the room. My mind wandered and seeing him sparked another reminder. It had also been a week since he confided in me about his sister and what she had gone through, and he hadn’t brought it up since. He was acting like everything had gone back to normal, except he was more lovey-dovey than before. It seemed that sharing that piece of himself with me had created an even closer bond, and for that I was grateful.

“Where are the others?” I asked when I finally reached him, looking around for Kingston and Jesse.

“They left already,” he relayed, curling me under his arm and pressing a kiss to my temple. “We have been tasked with a mission.”

“Uh… okay,” I drew the word out. “Any particular reason?”

“Yes, actually. Kingston has been tasked with distracting Jesse for the next couple hours while you and I have been instructed to go get Jesse a present.”

“A present? For what?” I tried to rack my brain for any memory of holidays or celebrations. It wasn’t Jesse’s birthday for almost another two months, and there was nothing special about today, so whatever it was that we were gifting had to be something I wasn’t in on yet.

“Stella and Kaleb got Jesse’s official emancipation order in yesterday, and they’re wanting to throw a little party for him tonight to celebrate.”

“Really? That’s awesome! I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say it’s a surprise if Kingston’s distracting?
