Hear her heart.
She’s here.
I dashed away tears and picked up a voice recorder wedged down the side. There were several small tapes scattered in the box too. Grabbing one, I inserted it and pushed Play. My saxophone rendition of “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone rang out.
I set the recording on the coffee table to play.
The second box showed the start of Sascha and Greyson’s detailed capture meet research.
Everything.Photos. Food wrappers. Clothing and trinkets.
And one repeated question.
Why does my mate hate casinos?
Logan inadvertently answered that question when he visited from Queen’s Way and spilled the beans about Ragna’s gambling past and the debt I’d inherited.
I checked my watch.
Ugh.In three hours, I only worked through three of the thirty plus boxes. I just wanted to sit here and read through the rest.
Right now, I didn’t have that kind of time.

Wade shot me a glance from the driver’s seat. “You’ve said that four times already. You can’t vomit today. It’s bad luck.”
Oh… then I just wouldn’t?
Cam sighed from the back. “Can you guys believe this may be the last time we drive to a grid?”
The thought distracted me from the bile threatening to surface. The conceptwasstrange, and I’d only experienced a matter of months of Grids. These guys had to feel all kinds of unsettled.
I mean, yes, a weekly battle against werewolves would end.
But also the cornerstone of steward routine.
“What will you guys do if we win?” I asked.
