Chapter 45

• There were so many people here, my nerves were jumpy, but I had to stay. I looked around at them all and had just noticed that Chase was not here, when he walked in the door carrying a cup, his hair all mussed.
• He raised his cup to me and winked. “As much as I love action, cutie, the excitement that comes with you is robbing me of sleep.” He smiled. “I may have to become a nightwalker if this keeps up.”
• I didn’t know what he meant, exactly, but I did feel bad that he couldn’t sleep. “I’m sorry.” I said, wishing I had my pack to hug to my chest. I didn’t, they said it could only be me, to get the answers they needed. My pack and the chain with my key sat on the bed, as I waited on the couch in a robe, and nothing more.
