Chapter 73: Friend or Foe

Emily

 

Dinner is delicious. In fact, everything about this place is perfect. For the first time in months, I feel like I can breathe again.

So why can’t I seem to relax?

Who am I kidding? I know exactly why.

No matter what I do, Serena always seems to be watching me. Laughing just a little too loud at my comments, or complimenting my table manners, outfit, you name it. Basically, just being a touch too friendly.

I suppose I should be grateful for friends right now, but I can’t help being leery. If there’s one thing I’ve learned by moving in these supernatural circles, it’s not to take anything at face value. That, and to trust my gut. If it says something’s up, nine times out of ten there are things moving behind the scenes that everyone is trying to keep from me.
