I make sure my face holds no emotion whatsoever. “Nothing.”

“No, something is definitely going on,” Kinsely says and glances over at Farrah, who nods.

“Yeah, I saw it.”

“You saw what?” I ask, smirking.

“You looked dejected and sad,” Kinsley answers.

Farrah nods. “Yeah, I saw that too.”

“It’s nothing,” I tell them.

“I really don’t believe you,” Kinsley says, leaning forward. “Did somebody say or do something to hurt your feelings?”

I laugh. “No. My feelings are impossible to hurt.”

But Farrah calls out, “It was me, wasn’t it?”

Kinsley turns to look at her. “What did you do to Harper?”

Farrah gives me a guilty look. “I was a jerk. I'm so sorry, Harper. There is no excuse; I know I’ve been a—”

“It’s fine,” I cut her off before she can call herself a jerk again.

“What did you do?” Kinsley asks in confusion.

Farrah sighs deeply. “My emotions have been all over the place, and I’m driving even myself crazy, not that that’s any excuse,” she says, looking over at me.

“What did you do to Harper?” Kinsely asks again.

“She didn’t do anything,” I start.

“I got mad at her for getting hurt,” Farrah says. Kinsley looks between the two of us, and Farrah sighs. “She kept going out on her own to fight the guivres, and it made me crazy.” She looks over at me. “Makesme crazy.”

“Glad to see you’re over it,” I tell her with a smirk.

“Why are you out fighting guivres alone?” Kinsley asks. “That’s incredibly dangerous.”

“And stupid,” Farrah adds. Kinsley turns to look at her. “What? It is,” Farrah defends herself.

“Did you lose control of your filter when you became pregnant?” Kinsley asks.

Farrah’s eyes widen. “Oh man. Maybe I did. I've been sayinga lot of stuff lately. Ugh.” She looks over at me. “I’m sorry.”

“You already apologized. Besides, we have bigger issues than you not having a filter on your mouth.” I instantly regret the words as soon as they leave my mouth. Both girls zero in on me.

“What issues?” Farrah asks.

“Yeah. Spill,” Kinsley says.

“Like all of the issues we’re currently dealing with. Guivres?” I remind them.

“No, that’s not it,” Farrah argues.

“Yeah, you were really thinking hard about something,” Kinsley says as she squints her eyes at me, like she can see inside my mind.

“Did something happen with Rauk?” Farrah asks.
