Lost Vestiges

Matteo frowned. He didn't like the idea of Amelia hanging out with Aiden in any capacity, let alone under false pretenses. Amelia saw his reluctance and changed her line of questioning.

"If I don't meet Aiden, is it possible for you to see if Catherine had her blood drawn instead?" Amelia asked. "Surely Aiden must have left a mark somewhere. He's not a trained nurse." 

"Not unless Aiden screwed up so much that he drew it from her eyeball," Matteo confessed frankly. "If he was so bad at it, I highly doubt my stepmom would have taken it lying down." 

"Maybe she couldn't feel anything," Amelia said. She and Matteo exchanged faint glances of horror. Hopefully, Aiden did not do something as horrific as drug his own mother to extract her blood.
