Police surrounded the fleet of cars, and while that see a war or alien invasion, every officer I saasn’t wearing sunglasses was rocking Luxen eyes

Of course

When I realized the dark-haired Luxen was steering ht knots forlance down the line of cars and saw Daemon stopped beside a Hum the act and rectifying the car assignave a little shake ofcar’s open door The pressure against the center of entle side, and I all but toppled onto the leather seat He cli strands of hair out ofacross from me was Rolland and the bitch, Sadi, whose cheek was completely unblemished Damn Luxen and their ability to heal I’d love to see my mark on her face instead of the syrupy-sweet smile directed at me

The door closed, and I felt like it was a coffin shutting on me

Rolland sat with one knee hooked over the other, hands folded in his lap like a perfect politician in a navy suit Beside him, Sadi was dressed like she had been the day before, pinstripe skirt suit, hair in a neat twist They looked perfect in a creepy plastic way

A fine sheen of sweat coveredhow fast I could summon the Source and bust out aif I needed towhy you’re riding with us," Rolland stated

I shiftedazure eyes There wasn’t an ounce of humanity in that cold stare "I am"

A slow smile pulled at his lips "I’m curious about your kind, Katy Swartz, about you and Dae physical connection with you What do you feel for hiured it was probably best that I was as honest as I could be with Rolland None of us really kne much inforht have inadvertently shared with hi connection with hi, that so wasn’t a lie

"You were fighting hih" Rolland nodded at the quiet Luxen beside me "Why was that?"

"I didn’t like how he treated me in the office" That was also the truth

"You love him," Sadi added, and the way she said itin front of a bus

Taking a deep breath, I nodded "I do"

"And do you think he loves you?" Rolland straightened his tie

"I did, but" I forced tears tothe way he’d acted before I kneas going on It still burned like a sting fros he said andand how he acted afterward" I added in a shudder for show So anyhed deeply

That wasn’t what I was expecting

"You’re cute," he said finally

Uh
