Chapter 114

NOT THAT Dallin had really expected the peaceful mood of the morning to last. Wil was too damned changeable, which was one of the more interesting facets of his jagged edges. Still, it had been nice while it lasted, and Dallin missed it already. Right at the moment, he suspected he was getting the silent treatment, though he pretended not to notice. It was probably only driving Wil's temper up further. Having dropped back to chat with Calder--most likely more to annoy Dallin than from any real affinity--Wil was making himself easy to pretend to ignore.

Anyway, Dallin had bigger things on his mind right now. Wil would come around. He had to. He just didn't know it yet. Which was, of course, Dallin's fault.
