In the space of a few hours, I’d found Chloe just standing in Baylie’s living room, had some greliaran lunatic break into the house, gotten in a fight with said lunatic, visited a police station where – thankfully – no one seemed to suspect I’d been a part of what destroyed the den, and then watched Chloe’s parents bundle her off to the house with the full intent of taking her God-knew-where. And when it came to that last, there wasn’t a damn thing I could do to stop it. On the banister of the porch steps, my grip tightened. I drew a breath, forcing myself to loosen my hold before I broke something. I’d wanted to head straight to Chloe’s house the moment we got home, but Baylie had cautioned against it. Stationing herself instead on the porch steps, she’d barely taken her eyes from the house and now seemed to just be waiting for something, though she wouldn’t say what. And meanwhile, I was going crazy.
What do You think about Return (Awakened Fate Book 3)?
