It's Anuja who first texts the group in the morning. You're still sprawled out in your bed when your phone buzzes. The vibration sends a shock through your system and you sit straight up, certain it must be Rex's number again. You deflate back into the covers as soon as you see Anuja's name on the screen, taking the phone with you.
"Meet at diner at 11?" the text reads. "I feel a bit better. I think. Either way, we ought to figure out what to do before the next thing takes us by surprise. Also I want waffles."
"K, see you there," Addy replies within seconds.
"See you at 11," you text back, breathing a sigh of relief as you put the phone down.
At the very least, your mission yesterday seems to have served its purpose, and Anuja is ready to face Arbor Isle again.
