Chapter Ten

I handed the phone back to Oanen and carefully sat up.

“Eliana’s freaking out just like I said she would. It’s not bad enough that the Council wanted Nicolette in Uttira. They put her in your house with Eliana.”

Oanen frowned.

“As if that’s not stressful enough for her, the brownie I sent her way is masturbating on Eliana’s pillow and sneaking into the shower with her. We need to figure out who this hooded guy is fast.”

“All right. Let’s get dressed.”

I stood too quickly and had to reach for the nightstand to steady myself.

“What’s wrong?” Oanen was at my side in an instant.

“Nothing. Just got a little dizzy from standing up too fast.”

“You’re pale.” He reached out to touch my forehead, but I swatted his hand away.

“I’m also annoyed that people keep telling me that. You can change in the bathroom. I’ll change out here.”

He studied me for a long moment then grabbed some clothes and closed himself in the bathroom. I hurried to get dressed, glancing at the new burn on my hip. It wasn’t as severe as the others but still served as a reminder that we needed answers. Today.

Ten minutes later, we stepped outside, and I looked up at the clear sky.

“How late is it?” I asked.

“Almost noon.”

“Wow.” It hadn’t felt like we’d slept that long.

“Are you hungry?”

“Not really.”

He gave me a considering look then opened the car door for me.

Neither of us spoke during the ride to the Goose and Gizzard. I didn’t mind the quiet. I closed my eyes and drifted off. When the car slowed, though, I jerked awake.

Oanen parked and cut the engine but stopped me before I got out.

“I know you don’t like me asking if you’re all right. You probably hate hearing it as much as I hate asking it. I just wish you’d be honest with me and tell me what’s going on. I know something isn’t right.”

“It’s more than something. It’s everything. Dead trolls. Nicolette. The Council. My mom. My great-grandma. I’m sorry I’m not myself lately.”

He continued to study me.

“That’s not it. Or at least not all of it. If you’re not ready to confide in me, that’s fine. But whether you tell me or not, it won’t change what will happen if you get worse. You’re mine, Megan. Mine to love. To care for. To protect. Even from your stubborn self.”

“Got it.”

He leaned toward me and gently stroked my cheek.

“And that’s how I know whatever is happening is getting very serious. Megan Smith does not simply say, ‘Got it.’ Ever.”

He had me there. But I was too tired to argue.

“Are we going inside, or do you plan to play with my face all day?” I asked.

He kissed me lightly then reached across me to open the door.

“After you.”

I felt more than a little guilty as I got out then waited for him on the sidewalk. He did have my best interest at heart. Yet, if I told him what was happening, I was worried what his plan B would be if we talked to my great-grandma and she didn’t have any answers.
