I just nod. Really, I don’t know what to say to that.
She blows out a breath and composes herself. “Okay. Whew. Time to get a move on.”
“Be careful out there, Summer. If you need anything, you know who to call,” I remind her. We have so much security that if you breathe wrong they’re asking if you’re okay. Okay, I’m exaggerating—a little.
“Tonight!” she calls over her shoulder as she closes the door behind her.
Now I’m worried.
THE HOUSE IS TOTAL CHAOSwhen I walk in after class. I look at Ben.
“What’s going on?
Jace is pacing, running his fingers through his hair the way all these men seem to when they’re frustrated or worried.
Ben turns to me. “It’s Summer.”
“Oh God!”
“Summer’s alone?” Jace questions.
Cage shrugs. “That, I wasn’t privy to. Sorry.”
“I don’t even have her address. How am I supposed to—”
Cage cuts Jace off when he holds up a slip of paper.
Jace takes it. “Thanks. I keep saying that to you lately. I really don’t know how I can ever repay you.”
Cage stares him down.
“Yeah, yeah. I know. We won’t talk about this again,” Jace chuckles when I’d be hiding behind Ben. That stare can be scary sometimes.
“You owe me nothing,” Cage tells Jace. “It’s what we do.”
Family.
“Go,” Kennedy tells Jace.
“You don’t need the car?” Jace questions.
“Nah, I have a couple things to talk over with bossman.” Kennedy nods. “See you back at the house.”
“And don’t worry about Kadi. She’s going to spend the night with us. Sera insists,” Cage tells me as Jace heads out the door. He stops to ask, “Are you sure?”
“You want to call and ask Sera?” he asks with a small smirk.
“Hell no. I’m good. Then, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow. If you need me—”
“I’ve got your number. Stop being a pussy and stalling and go see how she’s doing,” Cage tells Jace
I snicker. Cage calling Jace out is awesome.
“Give her our love, Jace,” I call behind him.
He waves a hand. “Will do.” With that, he’s gone.
