Chapter 61

She groaned in response. "I have so much work," she complained.

"Not that I don't love talking to you; but why did you call if you still have work?" I asked.

"Cause Ingrid wouldn't shut up," she grumbled. I heard knocking through the phone, then Em told us to hold on. Peyton, Brian, and I silently listened to the other line.

"Hey, squirt," Em said. She's probably talking to Matthew.

My assumption was confirmed when Matthew spoke. "I had a nightmare" he said quietly, but with my werewolf hearing, I could still hear it. That's the third nightmare this week, and its only Wednesday.

I heard shuffling before Em talked. "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked, there was a pause; in which I guess Matthew was silently answering. "Want me to tuck you in?" she questioned.

"Can you sleep with me tonight?" Matthew asked.

"Sure. Just hold on a sec," she told him. "Uh... I have to go, guys," she said through the phone.
