crosses his face which immediately changes to a bright, fake smile. He’s wearing long sleeves, so I can’t tell if his arm is still bandaged. “Talking about me again, eh? No worries, I’m used to being the elephant in the room… oops, I mean wolf.”
“It’s not like that, Blake,” Kacie says, directing a glare at her silent friends. “Look you’ve only been with us for a few weeks. When I first joined, I can’t count the number of times that conversation stopped when I walked into a room.”
“So, princess, what were you all whispering about then? Hmm?” Blake’s eyes narrow when Kacie remains silent. “Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
“We were worried about you and Raven,” she blurts out amid startled gasps. “You’ve been working together a lot lately on this vampire thing, and the animosity between you guys is no secret…”
“It’s fine, Kacie,” Raven says, appearing from the kitchen with her arms folded across her chest. “It’s a job, and I’ll use whatever tool is necessary to complete the job.”
Blake glances across the room at Raven—the hurt he’s trying to hide with a blank expression apparent in his eyes. “Ouch, starshine. That hurt.” His tone is light and joking. I don’t know how the hell he manages it.
Raven’s lips curl into a snarl. “I told you not to call me that, wolf boy.”
“Breakfast is served!” Mrs. Kincaid says, stepping between the fuming pair. Her voice is cheerful, chirpy… just like my mother’s when she’s trying to diffuse a tense situation. “Everyone fill a plate. We have a very busy morning.”
“Rebecca, why don’t you start the meeting with an overview of your findings from last night,” Mr. Kincaid says while the group is over filling their plates.
Kacie returns and places a plate of food on my lap. I must be predictable since she managed to pick out all my favorites, including a Boston Crème doughnut. When I smile at her in gratitude, her entire face lights up. My heart races. Damn that girl is gorgeous. She leans over and kisses my cheek before settling down beside me. She grabs the doughnut from the plate and brings it to her lips. Before taking a bite, she giggles and offers it to me instead. Though I’d rather kiss her senseless, I take a bite of the doughnut, wishing for the thousandth time that we were alone.
“Could you tone down the cuteness a little?” Raven asks as she settles on the chaise end of the sofa beside my elevated leg. “It’s way too early, and there isn’t enough caffeine in this house.”
“Logan was assaulted by ghosts yesterday. I think he’s earned a little TLC.” Kacie sticks her tongue out at Raven before popping a glazed doughnut hole in her mouth.
“True, sorry,” Raven mumbles, staring at the paper plate in her lap.
“If everyone’s ready, I’ll start,” Rebecca says in her authoritative, take-no-prisoners tone.
“Actually, I have something I need to share first,” Daniel says in a shaky voice. He crosses to the center of the room and leans against the brick fireplace. “I need to get this out before I lose my nerve.” His arms fold across his chest as though trying to shield him from… something.
“Floor’s yours,” Rebecca says. She pats him on the shoulder and sits down beside Carl.
Carl sits up a bit straighter and puffs his chest out while watching for her reaction from the corner of his eye. When she doesn’t seem to notice, he deflates a bit. Poor guy. He needs to be open with his feelings. I think he’s been pining for Rebecca for two years now.
“I don’t know where to start,” Daniel says, pacing the floor. “It’s really hard to talk about.” He stops his restless movement and stares at the floor.
“You aren’t on stage or giving a presentation in class,” Kacie says, pushing up from the sofa. She takes Daniel’s arm, leading him back to sit beside her. “Take a deep breath and relax. We’re all here for you.”
