I jumped in the shower, and once I got out Kiera was there and she already had wedding magazines splayed across the table. She and Carter were at the dining table and she insisted I join them. I could see the sheer boredom Carter was experiencing and it was hard not to feel a similar pain as she questioned us on colors and center pieces, flowers, and blah, blah, blah. Holy crap! How can she not see how incredibly bored we are? That was Kiera for you, though. She was kind of oblivious to things outside of her own little world.

Eventually I just got up because I couldn’t take it anymore. There was a citywide manhunt for my boyfriend going on and Kiera wanted me to help her make a decision on what color the bridesmaids’ dresses should be. I just couldn’t take any more!

“What’s wrong, Laney?” she asked as I stood. She was so clueless. Her gold-flecked, blue eyes stared up at me in wonder.

I felt like I was going to blow. Carter, placing his unbandaged arm around the back of Kiera’s chair protectively, gave me a look that clearly said, “Tread carefully.”

What could I tell her? I couldn’t very well tell her the truth, not the entire truth, anyway. The load that I was carrying, everything I was keeping from her, was getting too heavy. I was going to slip soon, say something by accident, or just break down and spill. I sucked in a deep breath and Carter’s eyes narrowed as my lips parted. I exhaled and forced a smile. “Nothing, Kiera. I’m just tired.” That last part was the truth.

“Oh,” she replied quietly. I knew she was disappointed that I wasn’t interested in her wedding crap. Maybe, if she knew what I was going through, she’d be understanding. I wandered over to the couch with my phone and plopped down onto the cushions. I texted Oliver in the hopes that he would respond and I waited, staring at my phone as I listened to Carter and Kiera’s muffled voices in the background.

I lay down on the couch and sent Felix a message, asking him if there was any news.
