224 Chapter 224

Behind me, Brandon said quietly, "Cassidy, I'm sure the reasoning is legitimate." I turned to look at him in shock and wondered how he could say something like that. Was he just scared? Scared of meeting his dad? Scared that the portal wouldn't work? Scared that Elliott wouldn't want to come back?

I decided to go with their reasoning for a moment. Turning back to face Cadence, I asked, "So did something evil come through when Grandma left?"

Cadence turned so quickly to look at Aaron, I thought perhaps they hadn't thought about that. It made sense, though, didn't it? If something evil comes back when something good goes through, then it had to work that way regardless of which way the portal was being utilized, didn't it?
