I’m not delusional, Aaron. I know he’s nearly six feet tall. Deo’s not a little kid to anyone but me. But I held him when he cried. When he a little kid. I promised him I’d keep the monsters away. Th...
You can skip the part in the middle where he goes off on a tangent about how the Delphi psychics contacted the Grand Duchess Anastasia while on these drugs. Pretty sure she’d have been dead by then— N...
Why? Because your grandfather gets hunches and you have some sort of psychic abilities, do you automatically believe everything? Someone walks in your door saying she can torch the place using her min...
Whenever a stray thought about Aaron, Taylor, or their relationship with Molly wanders into view, I push it into the folder near the back wall so that I can quickly shove them away from Dacia’s prying...
We’re about five steps down when he says, I feel like we’ve walked into a horror movie. Two teens sneak down to the basement, where the psycho killer lurks in the dark. If you’re trying to lighten the...
Unfortunately, I’ll need to watch them again at some point, because my mind keeps straying back to reality. I envy Deo’s ability to lose himself in fantasy for a while. That type of break seems almost...
There’s no shower, no paper towels. Just the sink, cold water, and hand soap. Carrie He has a point. There’s blood on my arms and neck, even in my hair. Nothing to do but start scrubbing, hopefully b...
Someone dropped her off in a shopping mall food court just before her third birthday. Pinned to her dress was a note with the name Anna, a date of birth, and the words, .
Shut up! Dacia digs her nails into my skin. You do not do the talking. I do not need you to tell me about your other phantom . . . She waves her hands, like she can’t find the word. The dead-in-your-h...
Okay, I tell Aaron, once I’ve hung up. Just so you know, Deo will call Dr. Kelsey, the police, the FBI, the entire Avengers team, and anyone else he can think of if I don’t check back in half an hour....
Maybe it’s just the fact that this has been one bitch of a day. Either way, his question annoys me. I kind of want to reach across the coffee table and smack him.
After a few miles, I push play and the audiobook starts. It might be nice to ride through the night, believing in magic for a while, magic of either the Hogwarts variety or the Muggle sort that will k...
It’s like saving up that perfect comeback you read in a book or heard on TV—it always sounds good in your head, but it never quite fits in real life.
I nod. Thanks. Molly was definitely right about one thing, you know. A grin inches across his face. That I’m gorgeous? , I think. No, I say. I that you’re a really nice guy, but now it looks like you...
I haven’t eaten, Aaron says, nodding down at the large white bag in his hands. And I’m guessing Daniel didn’t feed you on the way over, because . . . well, because he’s . . . so I bought extra. Do we...
He recorded me once, so I know exactly how I look when I’m engaged in one of these internal dialogues—and that makes me determined to avoid them in public. My eyes go blank, unfocused, like no one’s h...
For the past year, food of some sort has been a permanent appendage to Deo’s hand. Sometimes both hands at once. At first, I teased that he was going to get fat, but then he shot upward—six full inche...
Didn’t anyone ever teach you why it’s a bad idea to make assumptions? He raises his eyebrows, waiting for an answer. It makes an ass out of you and me.I see you’re both smart pretty. He laughs and s...
