The Black Swan

“He wants to run the Golden Circle, and to accomplish that, he’ll need a degree. He’s planned to attend college for quite some time, and the university in Rhode Island is quite prestigious. His entire family—scattered though it is—is very proud of him, which is how I learned of it.”


“And that’s why I’m packing. I’m staying up there to be near him. I’ll make sure nothing happens to him.”


“He’s not a child you know, and he won’t appreciate being treated like one.”


“He won’t even know I’m there.” Gabe pretended he didn’t see Morwen roll her eyes.


“Finish your packing and away with you then.”


He gripped her arm. “I’ll be back with him in four years.”


“Stay safe, Master Granger. And keep your black swan safe as well.”
