“I hope Roman shot him somewhere painful.”

Drew sighs.

Roman says, “I did.”

Violet looks at him. “Good.”

I stare at my sister.

Then Roman.

Then Drew.

“Okay. Great. Healthy coping all around.”

The door opens again. Ivy rushes in, Sebastian right behind her.

“Callie.”

“Oh, no.”

She takes one look at me and starts crying.

“No. We already did this.”

She ignores me, then hugs me carefully.

Sebastian stands at the end of the bed. “You look like shit.”

“Thank you.”

“You're welcome.”

Ivy turns on him. “Sebastian!”

“What? She does.”

“I was kidnapped.”

“I know.”

“I crashed a car.”

“I heard.”

“I beat him with a rock.”

Sebastian pauses, then looks at Roman. He gives one slow nod.

Sebastian looks back at me. “Okay. That's impressive.”

“Thank you.”

Ivy throws up her hands. “Why are all of you like this?”

The door opens again. Gracie appears.

I'm starting to wonder if there's a limit on visitors. If there is, nobody's bothered to enforce it yet.
