door and the desolation outside took Jasper aback. His reaction was visceral.

As he stared at the bustling living hall, his heart raced.

engaged in an animated conversation with Julien.

the skewer stick.

"The two of you..."

Jonah had eyes in the back of his head. He shot a glance at the jealous
