228 Chapter 228

Elliott and Brandon both snickered at me and Elliott began to ask questions about what sports Brandon played in high school. While I was glad they'd found something to talk about, there wasn't much I could add to the conversation, and my mind began to wander. Once again, everything in my life had drastically changed, and while this was definitely for the better, it also meant that, if Aaron was rightand Aaron is always rightthere was at least one monster out there now who hadn't been there just a few days ago. I wondered if I closed my eyes and concentrated if I could feel any disturbances in the air.

"You okay, Cass?" Elliott asked, a tinge of concern in his voice.

My eyes flew open. I hadn't realized I'd actually been reaching. "Oh, yeah."

"We boring you?" Brandon teased, giving me a little nudge with his shoulder.
