"Whoa" Rowan stepped between us, palht away I’ the next few days trapped in theon between you If we do this, there has to be a truce No fighting"

To my surprise, Ian caletically "You’re right Addie, I won’t talk about Cubby if you won’t"

Really? It was that easy? "Okay," I said warily

"Okay?" Rowan’s eyes darted back and forth between us "Soeveryone’s good?"

"Good" was a little generous, but I ed a nod and so did Ian It may have been a forced truce, but it was a truce It would have to be enough

"I actually need to put a call in to reat for n LIMERICK: 20 KM

"Perfect," I said gratefully I could handle twenty kilo Irish road was very different from twenty kilometers of, say, any possible other road, and by the tias station, I had to pee so badly, I was practically immobilized

"Outoutoutout!" I yelled

Ian turned, his hand on the headrest "You have five le"

"Just racefully out of the car and beelined for the convenience store I did my best to follow, but halfway out I lost one of my shoes, and when I tried to reach for it, I lost round, which was not ideal for the bladder situation
