No wonder Vaughn was always looking at me with concern

I looked like one of those dead people who came back to life on Dante’s favorite TV show I personally couldn’t watch it because it was too violent for ain

A zombie

That was the word

Dante would be so disappointed in me

I needed to call hinus had to be worried sick that I hadn’t checked in

But did I want theet me?

I didn’t even knohere I was I hadn’t been paying close enough attention on the ride from the first house to knohat state ere in

First things first I needed to take care of nus when they saw me

Or Vaughn

I cursed hts

I went back to the bedroo my pillow, I kept my mouth shut I considered the food on the dresser I didn’t care that it was cold, but I knew the meat and mashed potatoes would be too ain I needed soivenwell at ho like that downstairs

If Luca and Con were still here, surely they were asleep And if not, I wouldn’t go to the kitchen… I’d get Vaughn But if there was no reason to wake him up, I wouldn’t… after all, I kne to be invisible

I left the bedroom and quietly padded down the hall to the stairs The house was quiet There was no TV on and I couldn’t hear anyone talking I tookmy way down each stair, prepared to flee back upstairs at the slightest sound

But there was nothing

Maybe the men had left?

There were a few lights on downstairs When I made it to the front entryway, I could see that the kitchen was e room and I could see Con propped up in an armchair by the fireplace He was asleep
