Chapter 17

Two days pass, and there’s still no sign of Bay. There’s been no lift of the lockdown either, no classes either. To say I’m going insane is a little bit of an understatement.

“They can’t keep us in our cottages forever,” Wren says.

“We are almost out of food,” Dahlia says.

The three of us are in the kitchen. It’s lunchtime, but once again, I find myself without an appetite.

“You should eat, Rosemary,” Dahlia says.

“I’m not hungry.” I can’t even give a half-smile.

“You’re upset about what happened, huh?” Wren asks.

“That one of my professors was murdered? Yes.”

Dahlia and Wren exchange a look.

I sigh and wearily rub my forehead. “You know about the fight?”

“Don’t you mean fights?” Wren asks. She has a habit of being almost too direct and matter-of-fact at times.

“Yes, fights. Yes, I’m upset about them too. But I’m honestly not hungry. I’m gonna go lie down.”

Without waiting for a response, I fly back to my room. Orchid’s there, on her bed. She closes her book and clears her throat.

“I’m going to sleep,” I inform her preemptively.

“You can after we talk a bit.”

I shake my head. “I’m not in the mood to talk.”

“Can you give one of your closest friends a minute?”

“I can, but that doesn’t mean the minute has to be right now.”

She gives me a look that will probably make her future children stop whatever they’re doing and start listening up.

“What do you want to talk about?” I ask, giving in.

“Do you know how much Sage cares for you? He’s such a good guy. He really is.”

“Do you know we fought? Sage and I? Damon and I? And now there’s this lockdown, and yeah, I could call them, but it’s all just a… Fire and brimstone, it’s a mess. I don’t think a phone call will do any good, and it could do harm.”

“I’m sure he would like to hear from you,” she says softly.

“Why would you think that? I hurt him. We both said things that we regret, or at least I regret some of what I said.”

“So apologize to him. Talk to him. You truly liked him for so long and—”

“That doesn’t mean we’re meant to be together.”

“Why not?” she asks.

“That’s not how it always goes,” I say sadly.

“So, you want to be with Damon instead?” she asks. “Why? Sage is hotter—”

“They’re both hot,” I counter.

“Sage has those amazing green eyes.”

“Yes, but—”

"And he's strong, and you said you enjoyed your first time with him. The credit for that lies with him. It's not always enjoyable the first time."

“Orchid, please, can we change the subject?”

“But Sage is the fairy for you. Why do you keep fighting that?”

I bite my tongue, hesitating. When I do talk, it’s to change the topic. “I really need to decide what I want to do with my life after I graduate.”

“Well, you clearly love to solve crimes,” Orchid starts.

“I don’t love it. It just kind of happens.”

“You love it.”

I scowl, waiting for her to say something about my courting danger, but she doesn’t.

"Why don't you become an investigator?" Orchid asks.
