Home System Notification.

Amanda Perkins Residence

Resident Entry Confirmed.

She's home.

Safe.

“Seven, but we have history,” I correct automatically.

The room goes silent.

“What?”

“Seven days?”

“She invited me. Sorta.”

“He just means she didn’t say no,” Ego snarks.

“That's not helping your case,” Kai says.

“I brought boxes.”
