Book 2 Chapter 37

Daphne’s Point of View

Caleb got Clint settled into what was supposed to be our nursery. Luckily, there was an attached bathroom as well, so Clint would have total privacy. I was still flabbergasted by everything that was currently transpiring. This week seems to be tossing us mystery after mystery. My brain could not stop trying to fit all the pieces together. Somehow, I had a feeling that a few things were connected. “I feel like I can see the gears turning in your brain already.” Caleb’s voice startled me out of my thoughts. I turned to see that he had come back.

“Did Clint need anything? I feel bad because I do not remember asking him if he had already eaten.” I tell him.

“I ran down and grabbed him a few sandwiches, fresh fruit, and made sure he had plenty of water to drink as well. He will be fine. This whole story seems crazy.” Caleb pulls me gently into his chest.

“I feel like some of it is connected though. Axle’s behavior, Isabella and the twins, rogue attacks, plus my mother coming to warn us. There are too many coincidences for it not to have some kind of connection buried within it all.” My brain is searching desperately to try to piece it all together.

“I have been thinking something, but I feel like a jerk for admitting to it.” Caleb admits to me.

“Well, it is just you and me here, so what is going through your brain?’ I reassure him.
