A long porch, a tidy lawn, sleepy-eyed windows watching the world go by. Calm. A direct contrast to how Chess felt, which was like someone had wired her up to an outlet of electricity and misery. She hadn’t asked Jillian and Elder Griffin about the names she’d written down, the ghosts who were Summoned. Not after that whole She goes off on tangents and isn’t a team player and is sexually frustrated bit. The last thing she wanted to do after hearing that was walk in with another special request, another “tangent.” It wouldn’t make her look on the ball and ready, it would make her look disobedient and like a fucking creepy nymphomaniac or something. So she’d kept her mouth shut and responded to Jillian’s chitchat in the car with what she hoped were normal-sounding responses. Jillian accepted them, but then, she would, wouldn’t she? Rather than just tell Chess flat out that she was a failure? Of course.
