Not wanting to join Janice, I walked out of the room and headed back to the waiting area, deciding to wait there while a million and one questions filled my thoughts.
What was Davies up to and why did he think Hope’s Embrace was worth looking into?Nausea filled my stomach as I thought about it, knowing I wasn’t going to get an answer.It felt too much like he was going after my precious someone and there wasn’t anything I could do.
Chapter Fourteen
Davies’ questions andthoughts haunted me for the rest of the day.Janice didn’t say anything when she found me waiting in the lobby.The ride home was quiet too.Both of us had a lot to think about.
“Now that you’re older and free, what do you do for fun?”Janice finally asked when I pulled into my driveway.
“Are you bored already?”I asked.
She shrugged.“I’m curious to know what you like doing.”
I thought it over and being at the police station, it felt like it was time to release stress and just have fun.I grinned at Janice.
Her eyes narrowed.“What are you thinking?”
“I know how you’ll have fun.”I headed into the house with her on my heels.
“How?Tell me.I don’t like surprises.”
“It’s not a surprise.If you can wait a few more hours, we can go to a club.”
“Oh.”Janice made a dramatic gasp.“My precious, innocent Cadence likes to go clubbing?”
I laughed and playfully pushed her.“Shut up.Don’t make it seem like I’m a troublemaker.”
“Well, it’s been nearly two years.You could have easily gone down the wrong path while I was gone.”
I snorted at that nonsense and left her in the living room while I went into the kitchen to grab us some drinks.I settled for a can of ice-cold green tea and grabbed Janice a soda.She was already stretched out on the couch, staring at the TV as she flipping through movies.
“Thanks.”She grabbed the drink I held out for her and opened it.She nearly guzzled half of it before lowering it.“So what exactly are we doing at this club, and how can someone who isn’t eighteen get in?Am I going to be surrounded by a bunch of teenagers because I’m over that.”
I rolled my eyes.“Sure there are teens there, but there are a bunch of college students too.I know the owner.He lets me perform there sometimes.”
“Oh?Do I get to watch you sing?”
