J.T. sighed and rolled to his feet, juggling his coffee mug to avoid spilling the hot liquid all over himself. \u201cWell, guess I\u2019d better go check on them, then.\u201d<\/p>\n
Davon startled. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay,\u201d J.T. muttered, taking a deep draught from his mug. \u201cYou were right, I shouldn\u2019t have just left them. She\u2019s going to be too distracted by the fact that he remembers her to actually think straight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho?\u201d<\/p>\n
J.T. jumped at the sound of Seamus\u2019s voice, twisting toward the master of the Wild Hunt. \u201cJacqueline.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you find Eri\u00fa?\u201d Neve asked, her tone becoming hopeful. \u201cPhelan\u2019s remembered Jacqueline, but who knows if anything else has come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLeinth\u2019s looking for her,\u201d Seamus said quietly, folding his arms. His brow furrowed slightly and he stared at the fire for a long moment. \u201cShe\u2019s probably better equipped to find one ghost than I am.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m still surprised that you\u2019re not with her,\u201d Neve said softly. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s time that we all had a conversation,\u201d Seamus said. \u201cWhere are Marin and Thom and the rest?\u201d<\/p>\n
The sick feeling in the pit of J.T.\u2019s stomach only got worse. \u201cWhat\u2019s this about?\u201d<\/p>\n
Seamus shook his head. \u201cThere\u2019s an offer on the table from the Wild Hunt,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to say much more than that without everyone here. It\u2019s not something I want to explain again.\u201d His gaze flicked toward Neve, who winced.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeamus,\u201d she began. He cut her off.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all right,\u201d he said. \u201cIf they say no, they say no.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey won\u2019t say no,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey might once they hear what the offer is. Some prices are too high to pay.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat doesn\u2019t sound promising,\u201d Davon said as he got up. \u201cI\u2019ll go round everyone up. Jay, were you still going to check on Phelan and Jac?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d J.T. said as he sat back down. \u201cSomething tells me that they can wait. I need to be here for this.\u201d<\/p>\n
And I hope it\u2019s not nearly as bad as I think it might be.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" J.T. sighed and rolled to his feet, juggling his coffee mug to avoid spilling the hot liquid all over himself. \u201cWell, guess I\u2019d better go check on them, then.\u201d Davon startled. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean\u2014\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s okay,\u201d J.T. muttered, taking a … Continue reading
