Chapter 52 “What About It?”

• Kade's [POV]
• Take in Aden's slumped form on the apartment's couch. He has several items balanced precariously around him that have the potential to make a pretty big mess if someone were to startle him. "I'm guessing you had about as much luck as I did?"
• Aden jerks his blond head from the back of the couch, going from dead asleep to alert in under a second. The laptop sitting on his lap topples over. He fumbles to catch it, and in the process, only flings it further away from him.
