I hear Tay's bones crack as he shifts behind us, quickly moving in front of us and stalking towards the man, snarling quietly as James's eyes meet Tilly's.

"How is this possible? Because I've never been here...but I've been here...like...I know there's a pond back there. I don't know how I know, but I know." I let go of Tilly and Darien and run around the side of the gazebo, deeper into the trees, coming to a stop at the edge of a pond.

I grasp Darien's hand and come to an abrupt stop when we reach the end of the path and see an overgrown, but still in decent shape, gazebo just inside the tree line.+

Matty steps off the plane after us, clinging to Jace's hand. She takes a very slow breath and I barely hear her mutter, "Oh...that was a mistake. Okay...breathe. Can't change it now."

I’m lying awake in @hotheadedtrouble.bsky.social’s bed, curled into his side and staring out the dark window as he sleeps next to me.

I focus my thoughts on my usually present psychic companion, Torrence. -The invitation is weird. Should I go?-

After I finish at the grocery store, I head to @hotheadedtrouble.bsky.social's place and let myself in, going straight to the kitchen to start dinner.

I hum softly to myself as I focus completely on making homemade pasta with bolognese sauce, garlic buns and caesar salad.

I hum. "Well...hold your breath." I open the envelope and pull out the contents. I blink as I read it and the invitation slips out of my fingers as I say in confusion, "Rosie's dad? Why would I be going to a will reading for him? I never even met him."

Uncle Alex looks up and says, “Bear, there’s something for you under the bar. Found it earlier.”

I make a face and lean backwards, grabbing the pretty silver and red envelope off the shelf under the bar before sitting up properly and looking at it. +

I get comfortable and swing my legs as I sip my drink and watch a couple of my uncles play pool. -The clubhouse has always felt like home, but it’s more comfortable since Daddy died and I don’t need to worry about him getting angry with me.- +

After the one class I had at school today, I bounce into the Hellraisers’ clubhouse and drop my bag on the floor next to the bar before making myself a shirley temple and hopping up on the bar.+

I sneak into Rosie's house and behind her before putting my cold hands over her eyes. "Guess who?"

(Trinity)

I smile when I see the caller ID and I answer on the second ring. "Hey."
