“Fuck yeah, it is! Blew his bitch ass up,” Cal chirped from the stove as he flipped an omelet.

“Bad ass.” Theo grinned, sprawling out in her chair and draping her arm around the back of Cassandra’s seat.

Cass looked up from her work and scowled at Theo, her brown eyes looking pointedly at where my sister had rested her arm, then back again.

Theo just gave her a mischievous grin and raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t encourage him, Theodora,” Cass snapped, and Theo chuckled.

“Oh-ho. Full naming me? Nobody calls me that, princess.”

“Why not? It’s your name,Theodora,”she snapped back, and Theo’s grin just widened.

“Mmm. Wasn’t complaining. I like it when you say it like that, princess. Though it would sound better if you were screaming it.”

“Jesus Christ, Theo!” I barked, gesturing to Naomi, who was watching their interaction like she wished she had popcorn.

“What? I’m not a child. I’m nineteen and read more kinky shit than you can probably even dream up, Ry-guy. Don’t censor the flirting on my account.”

“We arenotflirting!” Cass hissed, and Theo laughed again.

“Speak for yourself, princess.”

I looked at Vox, whose eyes narrowed on Naomi at her implication that she was not as innocent as we all had pretended she was.

Fuck, when did this place turn into such a madhouse?

“Well, if the threat is gone, then can Ipleasego back to my condo?” Cass asked, and my heart skipped a beat.

I hadn’t thought about what would happen now that Damian was dead. Of course, everyone would leave Fairview and go back to their respective places.

Well, except for Vox. I didn’t know where he was going to stay. As far as I knew, he lived at Apex.

Theo didn’t look happy about the idea of Cass leaving either.

I glanced over at Cal, whose mind seemed to have gone down the same path as mine.

Was he going to go back to the townhouse?

“I guess,” Callum muttered, and Cass let out an uncharacteristic squealing sound that made Theo’s expression turn murderous.

“Fuckingamazing!I’m so sick of living out of a suitcase.”

“You have a closet in your room; you could have unpacked,” Theo snapped, and Cass rolled her eyes.

“You call that cubby hole acloset?There’s not even room forhalfof my shoes, and the lighting is terrible.”

“There is no lighting. It’s a fucking closet.”

“Exactly.”

“Okay, enough!” I snapped, and they both looked at me with completely contrasting expressions.

“I want to make it clear that no onehasto leave.” I glanced over at Vox, who raised an eyebrow at me in question.

“I know you lived at Apex, Vox. So if you want to stay here while you find a place, please stay as long as you want.”

“And you two,” I turned to Naomi and Cal, “same goes for you. I know Damian owned that townhouse, so if you don’t want to move back there, you can stay here. Though, I understand if you’re homesick.”
