Chapter 83

• Ian’s POV
• The late afternoon cast shadows along the road as Jacob and I pulled up to Jenny and Sophia’s house. There was a tension in the air, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was causing it. Jacob had been unusually quiet on the drive over, and I could sense something on his mind, something he wasn’t ready to talk about. As for me, my thoughts were revolving all around Sophia. She had been on edge lately, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong.
• We stepped out of the car, and Jacob hesitated for a moment before following me up the steps to the front door. I knocked twice, but before I could knock again, the door swung open to reveal Jenny, her eyes lighting up at the sight of Jacob.
