The area was filled with dense natural forests and roads that were barely usable. We bounced along the roads in tense silence. I’d tried to call Mason a few more times from the van, but he still wasn’t answering. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I couldn’t imagine it was a good thing. Finn pulled his phone out. “I’m going to tell Addie and Mia we got the second ingredient and are on our way to the third. That okay?” “Sure.” I turned on my blinker, relieved that Finn had taken on the task of keeping the girls in the loop this time. If I had to name things I was terrible at, first on the list was probably communication—as I’m sure Parker would attest to—and second would be reassuring others. Finn was obviously the clear choice for this job. We’d been driving for a couple of hours and were getting close now, but I still didn’t know exactly what I was going to say to Mason.
