But I think those people are wrong.

Anger, when used properly, is a strength. It gives a person a reason to change the horrible problems in the world and eventually make the world a better place.

“I still hate you,” I admit. “Because of your secrets.”

He looks over at me and laughs again. This time a real laugh, his mouth pulling into such a brilliant smile that I glimpse the other side of him. Who he might be if not for what was done on those weekends.

“Oh yeah, well I’m not your biggest fan either, Blue.”

Blinking my eyes at that, I ask, “Why not? What the hell did I do?”

“You’re annoying, and you ask too many questions.”

I nod my head. I can accept that.

“Meh, I’ll end up growing on you.”

Our eyes lock, the green flecks in his eyes dancing with humor.

“Sure you will, like a damn tumor.”

I’ll take it.

Nudging his shoulder with mine, I try to make light of the situation.

“Hey Champ, guess what.”

He eyes me with suspicion. “What?”

A wide grin stretches my lips. “I still have two questions left.”

Groaning, he drops his weight to lie down on the floor.

I lay beside him.

If this is how the snooty folk ride on their super fancy private planes, I need to learn the proper protocol.

Thankfully, Blue was quiet when we landed in Georgia. After meeting up with Shane, she could tell that it wasn’t a time for jokes or her usual sarcastic comments.

All three of us are on the warpath, but there’s not much that can be done when we have no idea where Brinley was taken.

Arriving at the hotel, I keep a careful eye on Blue.

Normally, this would be a time for her to comment on what she calls thesnootylifestyle, but instead, she walks behind Shane and me without saying a word, her eyes taking in the luxury of the hotel.

It’s not until we reach the suite we’ll be staying in that Blue can’t help but pipe up.

Fortunately, she keeps her comments on point, her worry for Brinley pouring out until I’m drowning in it.

This is my fault…

Her words from the plane repeat in my head when I know it’s not her fault … it’s mine.

I’m to blame for returning to Myth over and over.

I’m to blame for making a deal with Blue just so I could keep her.
