I figured he’d catch the girl, because surely there was no way she could outrun him. I briefly considered following him, but I knew that in order to find him quickly I would have to use my Glamour, and I wasn’t ready to do that. Eventually, when there was no sign of him, I wandered back to the house. The door we had come out of was off of a small entryway that led into a larger living room, in which the sofas were bright red, in contrast to the white walls and the rest of the furniture. I liked the room, if for no other reason than that it was more modern than the rest of the house, and I wondered if Katie had decorated it. I sat down on one of the couches, in part to wait and for Seth, but also because I wanted a quiet place to think. Seth had brought up several topics that I wasn’t comfortable discussing, and what was worse, it looked like we might be around a little longer than I had intended, in which case I would probably have to face talking about Holt. Everyone was curious about him and about what had happened last fall, and so far I had only avoided talking about all of it in detail because I had refused to hang around with anyone who hadn’t been at the Ceremony of the Vines.
