It looked like the old patterns were emerging again. That morning when Alex had gone to Cat's room to talk about last night, he'd discovered that she'd never made it home. He blamed himself for how things had gone down last night. And he got it. She had every right to feel angry and betrayed.
But he thought they were getting past it all. They weren't alone anymore, after all. Being mature and responsible adults they had to think of Luke now. And how he would think and feel about whatever was going on with them. Feeling frustrated and giving her time to calm down he thought she would come back when she was ready. Instructing Mandrake to keep an eye on the situation he told the former CAG soldier to inform him of her return immediately.
He went to Knight Inc to deal with the fires there when his phone rang. It was the Dean of Pathways Prep. Mr. Roquefort informed him that since he couldn't get in touch with Cat he was to come and pick up Luke.
