“Going home is nice, Jilly,” I said, ducking effortlessly as she launched herself at me, her jaw unhinged and her fangs flashing toward my throat.
I was a warrior, and I knew how to avoid her.

“No fucking clue,” he grumbled, shrugging.
“Tell me what I missed,” I snapped back. I had gaps in my memory, and he was being difficult.
