“Are you feeling better?” the man asked.

“Um, sure,” I said, my voice calmer and more steady, but my heart was stil pounding in my ears.

“Thank you so much. If you hadn’t come along…”

I didn’t real y want to focus on what could have happened. If I had been kil ed by a snake because I’d been imagining naked men, I would have been real y pissed. And dead, but stil real y pissed.

“But I did,” he said with a shrug. “My name is Jesse Ackerman.”

“I’m Sara Col ins. It’s lovely to meet you.” The further we walked away from the snake pit, the better I started to feel. Okay, it might not have been a pit, but he’d basical y told me it had been a monster snake that wanted to destroy me and everything I stood for, so I think I can get away with dramatics.

“Are you on your way to the party at Wesley’s? I mean, Dr. Carpenter’s?”

“Sort of. I mean I wil be at the party, but apparently, I also live there now. I suppose you could say that I’m their new ward. Sean’s my sponsor.”

“Wonderful!” He gave me that half hug again. “Welcome to Wyspa.”

“Thank you.” I’d meant it to be sincere, but I think the words might have held a smidge of bitterness because he stopped trying to talk to me.

We walked in silence the last hundred yards or so to my new home. I was total y grateful to Sean and Wes for letting me stay with them, but I couldn’t keep a thread of disappointment from creeping into my stomach when the house came into view.

I wanted to stay with Gabe and Toby. It was ridiculous and impossible, but that’s what I wanted. I could try to deny that I cared for them, but it seemed pretty useless. Pouting wouldn’t change the situation, so I would have to put on my brave face and push through my remorse.

A warm greeting from Sean and Wesley helped a lot. They seemed genuinely glad to have me there. I would hate to think I was imposing, even if they’d offered. This situation was awkward for me to say the least.

“Where’s the food?” Wes asked, turning to Jesse. “You’re stil catering this party, aren’t you?”

“I thought I was a guest,” Jesse said, sounding wounded. “You expect me to cook the food you’re serving me? What a bloody wanker you are.”

“Piss off,” Wes said with a laugh. “You’re making your woman do al the work, aren’t you?”

“Aye, but only because she wants to.”

“So I take it you two have met?” Sean asked, looking between Jesse and me.

“Yeah, he saved my life then escorted me over here.”

“What happened?” Wes asked, his concern obvious.
