CHAPTER 167

Avery returned to school from Asnaoya on a Friday. She originally planned to head straight home, but there was a quiz in her class that evening. Since she had already taken a week off at the beginning of the semester, she figured she should at least show up for a bit. What she didn't expect was to immediately stumble upon Alaric, who was gearing up for an argument. Of course, it was a small matter, easily resolved. After the quiz, she drove Alaric home. By the time they got home, it was already past 10 PM. Josie had gone to bed, while the adults were having a late-night snack, chatting, and watching TV. By 11, everyone dispersed to their rooms.
