What the hell just happened? I stare after Cass, watching her walk to the front door, my jaw tight. I’m pretty sure I just got the brush off, but for the life of me, I don’t know what I said that made her fold those damn walls back around herself. Wrapping my hands around the steering wheel to keep from punching something, I mentally go over our conversation.

Does she think that training for the EUC is all I care about? Fucking hell, that couldn’t be farther from the truth, but I need to get this done so I can move on.

I start to open the car door and go after her when my phone rings.

Shutting the door, I quickly answer. “How the hell do you deal with a woman’s brain? I swear it’s like walking in a minefield with skis on.”

Bash snorts. “I take it you and Cass are having issues?”

I shake my head and stare at the front door she just closed behind her. “Maybe it’s the pressure she’s under pretending to be Celeste that’s getting to her, but honestly, Bash, I don’t have a fucking clue. All I said was that my life won’t be my own until the EUC thing is done and over.”

When Bash barks out a laugh, I scowl. “What’s wrong with that? I’m trying to protect her. I don’t want her anywhere near the gym or the EUC event. These guys are dangerous. Right now the EUC doesn’t know that Cass is in my life, and I want to keep it that way. I don’t want to give them any leverage over me, and I would never forgive myself if anyone hurt Cass because of this MMA stuff.”

“Your intentions might be honorable, but that’s not how she sees it.”

I scrub my hand over my jawline. “Oh yeah? Then enlighten me, oh pussy-whipped one.”

“Bite me. I’m not the one asking you for relationship advice.”

“Why did you call?” I snap, annoyed that he’s right.

“To let you know that Mina’s coming tonight.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. The Blakes have never been close with the Carvers. Too many of you suddenly showing up might look suspicious, especially with another Blake they definitely don’t trust staying in their house right now.”

“Mina is needed.”

“And why is that?”

“Because drinking glasses are an excellent DNA source.”

“Not quite seeing the connection. And napkins are just as good a source.”

“I agree that napkins would be easier to swipe and conceal, except not every person uses them. But almost everyone holds a drink at some point while standing around chatting. A glass will easily fit into a woman’s purse. Cass sent Talia a note that she’s planning to collect two samples, hence Mina’s presence.”

I dig my fingers through my hair, tension riding my shoulders. “Fine, but make sure to drill everyone so they don’t give Cass away, especially Damien.”

“We’re prepared. You don’t have to worry about Damien. He has no clue she’s not Celeste or what we’re doing tonight. He just thinks I’m suddenly interested in politics.
