Chapter 21 Proven Wrong

• Elle makes a mental note to call Stella out on her tomorrow. Someone is going to tell her what the hell is going on.
• Stella clears her throat and slowly turns her head in Elle’s direction, almost like she’s fighting against a pull so strong, that she might have to use her hands to help out. “I, um, I should go. Have fun tonight. Call me tomorrow.” She manages a smile, and with one last, longing look directed at Noah, she pulls open the front door, inviting a whoosh of cold air to assault them until she slams it closed behind her.
• Noah doesn’t say a word. He just stares at the door. It’s not like him to watch things happen. He’s usually the catalyst in all the action, so seeing him like this is a little unnerving.
