Who Is Maven?

(Casey's POV)

___________

"I think I know who Maven is."

Jace and Ethan turned to face me as if I had grown horns on my head, they almost couldn't believe it. My words were hanging heavily in the air and the minute they were out of my mouth, I regretted it. I knew at once that I should have thought it through before speaking up and also confirmed what I was going to say before I said such a weighty statement.

"Casey," Jace muttered. "What did you just say?"

"If I'm not mistaken," Ethan added. "She just said that she knows who Maven is."

"Whoa! You're very much mistaken!" I retorted at once, shaking my head vehemently. "I said that I 'think' I know him. Emphasis on the word think, Ethan!"

Jace looked flabbergasted, "what the fuck does that mean, Casey? Do you know this guy or not? Stop playing around!"
