"Can I stay at the mansion tonight?"
I asked Seven over the earpiece. Jace and I drove the other car while Seven and Ryan were in the other.
"Will my decision really stop you from going there?"
"No," I answered. "We're heading there. Jace and I have some clothes left in there. We'll buy food on the way, and if anyone tries to come in, I finally get to use the traps. Are we free to go now?"
Seven didn't answer for a long time. Jace glanced my way, waiting for the affirmation about our destination.
"You will get your vengeance, Amiel. Take care. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Seven."
I pulled out the earpiece at the same time that Jace pulled out his.
"I'm not even going to ask. But let's get you home and settled. I'll make you something special."
I nodded, staring outside.
I thought I was way past the mourning stage. But the way my heart was hurting right now proved that I was wrong.
