CHAPTER 25

Tasia

I SIT CURLED UP on my bed, my blanket cocooning me. It’s the only comfort I can find right now, but it isn’t worth much. I can feel him. He’s right outside my window. He sees me. Even with this blanket covering me. He sees me.

I gasp when my phone buzzes in my pocket. Someone’s calling me. I look at the screen and see Connor’s number. I debate about answering it or not. Who am I kidding? I need a distraction right now. Anxiety is eating me alive.

Cringing, I answer the phone.

I wait a moment too long before speaking, so Connor speaks first. “Tasia?”

“H-hey,” I manage. “What’s up?”

“Didi and I are in Philadelphia. Our parents took us. They said it’d be good to get out of Reverie for a while and with all that talk about moving, I guess they’re getting serious. So Didi and I were wondering if you wanted to meet up. Do you?”

“Right now?” I ask hastily.

“Well… yeah, actually, that would work.”

Connor tells me the hotel he and his family are staying at. A quick look on Google Maps tells me it isn’t far, so I decide against trying to call Fiona to ask if I can borrow her Camaro. I’d rather deal with my anxiety over Arsen than face Fiona’s wrath if I put a scratch on her beloved car. I don’t even want to think about how that would turn out. I leave a message with Divya, though, so Fiona knows where I’m going and who I’m with. That way I don’t have to disturb my godmother at all.

I don’t waste any time leaving the apartment as soon as I know where I’m going. When the cold air and scattered flakes of new snow hit me, I feel a little better. But that feeling of being watched never goes away. Looking over my shoulder is another nervous habit that’s only gotten worse because of all of my enhanced anxiety lately. My mind tells me he’s right there, right behind me, but when I look to confirm if that’s true, I don’t see him. I’m surrounded by normal people going places just like me. Arsen isn’t here. He isn’t here.

I pick up my pace anyway.

When I arrive at the hotel, I only have to step inside of the foyer to find them. The familiar sight of their bright orange hair sends a wave of relief through my body. They see me as soon as the glass doors slide open for me. They rush for me. Didi hugs me, and Connor gets comfortable by leaning on my shoulder.

“It’s been too long,” Didi groans. “We missed you.”

“I missed you guys, too,” I say, trying to keep my balance.

Connor laughs and rights himself, relieving me of his weight. He steps away and places his hand just under his chin, analyzing me.

“You seem different somehow,” he says.

“W-what?” I ask, suddenly even more anxious.

“He’s right,” Didi agrees, mirroring her brother’s actions. “Have you been working out?”

I laugh nervously. “Yeah! You got me.
