10.

“She’s alive,” Endo says the second I enter the kitchen.

“Is there coffee?”

“And pancakes. We thought you could use some.” He goes back to his cell phone, but I can see the grin plastered on his face.

“No Ross?” I ask.

“He and Sol left already. They’re going to do another sweep of campus and meet with Violet to try to figure out what’s happening at Earhart.”

I’m relieved to find Sol has already headed back to campus.

“Our fearless leader seemed awful happy this morning. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?”

Color explodes in my cheeks as Cael smacks Endo upside the head. “Not cool, dude.”

“What?” he protests. “I’m just saying it made a nice change seeing him less growly.”

“I think I’m going to take this out back.” I grab the coffee mug and head for the back door leaving Cael to scold Endo.

It’s a beautiful morning. The sun is already high in the sky, but the air is crisp. The leaves on the trees turning orange, a sign fall is on its way.

“Is this seat taken?”

I don’t answer Cael, but he sits down anyway. “Penny for your thoughts?”

“Did... did Sol say anything this morning?”

“Honestly, Kitten, he didn’t need to. Last night was long overdue.” My lips flatten, and Cael inclines his head. “I feel like I’m missing something here.”

“Something happened.”

“I heard.” He grins, but it slips when a deep scowl mars my face. “Terra, what’s wrong?”

“We... he...” I search for the right words. “Sol and Gaia, they...”

Cael’s mouth drops open and then snaps shut. “Sol and Gaia... I don’t understand.”

“We didn’t have sex, Cael.” My cheeks flush deeply. “Sol and Gaia did.”

“Kitten, we’ve been through this—”

“I know how it sounds, Cael. I know I sound like a crazy person, but I’m telling you; it wasn’t me. It was her. She took over. And Sol, he...” the words die on the tip of my tongue. The way he’d touched her. Kissed her. It was nothing compared to what we’d shared only minutes earlier. Gaia was a woman. Confident and in control of her body. Her needs. I was nothing more than a girl. A shy, inexperienced girl.

“Wait a second,” Cael says. “Let me get this straight. You and Sol spent all night together, but you’re saying it wasn’t you he was with? Because I don’t want to sound like a creeper, Kitten, but I heard you. We all did.”

“We did... stuff.” I blush. “And then afterwards we were talking, and I don’t know she just came out.”

“Came out?”

“I don’t know, okay! One minute it was me and the next I sounded different.” Silence settles between us as Cael considers my words. “It’s not the first time it’s happened,” I add. “It happened before with you.”

Realization dawns on his face and he sucks in a ragged breath. “It was her. When we... it was Gaia.”

I nod, unable to speak over the lump in my throat.

“Kitten, why didn’t you say something? Why didn’t you—”

“I tried, but you seemed okay with what had happened and I.
