Chapter 40

• We got there pretty fast considering the traffic but the closer we got, the more anxious I became. I started to scroll through emails but not opening them. Just giving my fingers something to do. It was the same feeling I had when was taping up her wound on her arm. This never should have happened and I should have been there to protect her.
• Pulling into the driveway, Aleksei, Lec and I got out. We probably would have turned heads but we’d been here so many times together even I knew the neighbors names. Before I could knock, the door opened and my sister was standing in the doorway, a hand on her hip. I looked behind her and Damir was crossing his arms in an X shape and the dragged his thumb over his neck. Great. Kamilia was really mad.
• We stepped in without so much of a word but the door slammed so hard behind us I’m pretty sure the wreath on the front door fell.
