Chapter 15

“Okay, Bri, I don’t mean to speak badly of my cousin, but you really should get to know a guy before you jump into bed with him.”

I couldn’t stop myself from laughing outright then. Even with everything that was going on, Zoe could still make me laugh.

“I slept in his bed. He didn’t,” I told her after I managed to get a handle on my laughter. “Merrin’s friend on the outside turned out to be your Grandma.”

“The cheek! I can’t believe neither of them told me where you were going!” Zoe snapped before she seemed to calm. “I guess they had good reasons.”

“Yeah, I probably shouldn’t have told you I was here.” I suddenly felt guilty, hoping I hadn’t put her in a dangerous position by letting her in on such sensitive information.

“Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me,” she promised, “Merrin gave us all a quick lesson shrouding our thoughts last night after you left.”
