A strange breeze rustled my hair.My skin prickled with goosebumps, and there was the faintest smell of funnel cake.
I squinted at the menu.
That was odd, I didn’t see funnel cake listed.
I knew I was probably losing my mind.With school starting up, and everything that had happened...
“Here,” he said, and passed me my drink as we headed to the end of the counter to get our dessert.
Something pulled my attention to the corner by the window.No one was there, but yet...
Miles handed me the cinnamon roll.
I searched the room for an open table for two and settled on one next to the window.
“That one,” I pointed with my coffee.
Miles headed for it, nearly bumping into a couple that looked to be leaving.
“Shit, sorry,” he said as I stopped.
The woman looked at me with warmth.Her bright blue eyes were so crystalline, I felt frozen.Her golden hair bounced as she smiled.
“It’s alright, sweetheart.You’re good.”
The man beside her stopped, too, staring at me with the same warmth before flashing a glare at Miles.
“Watch where you’re going,” he grumbled, but there was no bitterness in his voice.It was almost...amusement.
“Will do,” Miles said.“Come on, Mercy.”
I gave the couple a smirk.“Have a good day,” I said.
“Come on, Angel, we’ve got work to do,” the man said, and something about his voice felt oddly familiar.
Like I’d heard it in a dream or something.
I blinked as he opened the door for Angel.The name was oddly fitting.She was pretty enough to be an angel, all right.
I sat in my seat, sipping my coffee, watching as the couple crossed the street, but I never saw them enter a car.
It was almost like they just disappeared into thin air.
Before I could think about my impending insanity, Miles stole my attention.
“How do you feel about a movie?”he asked.
“Movie sounds good,” I said, biting into my cinnamon roll, feeling like everything was just as it should be.
Like my life was only just beginning.
CHAPTER18
Endor
“Areyou sure your intel is right?”I asked, crossing my arms.
“Of course, I’m right.Just becauseyoudon’t see him, doesn’t mean he isn’t here,” Valory nipped.
