I raised a brow as I glanced down at the bacon My stoer, but it also churned unsteadily

Seth’s gaze flickered to ht-upabout my father, I simply widened my eyes as I took another drink The queasiness increased

"Well, maybe you should try to control your ested "You never knohen the gods ht actually be useful"

Seth snorted as he placed the last of the eggs on a plate "That is just as likely as you actually being useful"

One side of Aiden’s lips kicked up "You know, I think you have a crush on me"

Seth simply smiled in return, and it was a bit of a creepy, hide-your-kids kind of smile that actually reminded me of Apollo, and that really ht Zone," ether on anything, even when it’s just eggs and bacon"

I laughed under rin spread as he picked up two plates and brought them over to where Alex and I sat In a few minutes, Seth was beside me and Aiden was next to Alex

"Supposedly I don’t have to eat food anymore" Seth held up a piece of bacon "But there is no way I’ bacon"

I stared at him "Really? You don’t have to eat anymore?"

Seth nodded as he bit down on the crispy slice

What the hell? I was a full-blown deod and I still had to eat

"You’re a freak," Alex said

Thrusting a fork full of eggs into my mouth, I decided it was best at the moment to not dwell on how different Seth was now

We ate in silence for a few , fluffy and buttery, and they seemed to settle my stomach down I could eat an entire skillet of the as it was crispy and greasy

"So," I said, clearing my throat "What’s the plan?"

Aiden frowned "The plan?"

"Yeah What are we doing now? I’m here and I’m okay" I’d forced the last word out, because I wasn’t sure how okay I truly was, but hey, I was alive And it wasn’t like anything was going to wait around forto do about Mitchell?"

Aiden’s dark brows snapped together "Mitchell?"

"Yeah, the de at Seth "You haven’t told them, have you?"

"Haven’t exactly had the ti down his other slice of bacon He continued before I had the chance to respond "The plan is for you to stay here, to heal, and then after you heal, you’re going to continue to stay here"

Slowly lowering my fork, I raised my brows "Nice of you to include me in this decision you’ve already made"

"You’re welcome And just so you know, I’ve made a couple more decisions," Seth tacked on, and I preemptively put the fork down before I turned it into a weapon "You’re not doing the whole search-and-rescue et those damn bands off your wrists That’s the plan"

"Uh-oh," whispered Alex

Aiden leaned forward, resting his arms on the counter "Seth sort of has a point"

"Holy shit, someone record this," Seth said

Aiden’s eyes narrowed, but he ignored Seth "You need to get better, Josie You need to heal"
