Haunting-Adeline

I take a step back, a rac ng both of their eyes. “I have to deal with the
video. I have men sta oned outside the property already.”
“What the hell? Why? I didn’t see any men,” Daya asks, her eyes
widened with alarm.
“They’re not meant to be seen, Daya. You know that already, don’t
you?” When her teeth click, I con nue. “You two kiss and make up. I trust
your judgment so whatever you decide to divulge, you have my
permission.”
Addie bites her bo om lip, glancing at her best friend with guilt.
“I’ll see you later, li le mouse.” I wink at her sugges vely, and her eyes
narrow in response.
Daya spu ers, but I’m out the door before she can relearn how to speak
again. I’ve got far more pressing ma ers to deal with than Daya's newly
developed speech impediment.
