If looks could kill, Jayce’s skin would be stripped from his bones in an instant. “… what’s your point?”

“Does she know how much you like her?”

“Obviously,” Caitlyn says, too quickly. Yes, a sullen and peevish teenager is exactly what she feels like. This is her first real encounter with any of these especially vulnerable feelings, and all her past experiences with intense emotion have involved smothering them outright. It’s difficult to land somewhere in the middle. “We talked.” She looks at her glass, avoiding all their eyes as she drinks. “Last night.”

Vi chokes on her blood and covers her mouth with her hand.

Jayce and Mel share another look.

If looks could kill, Caitlyn would stare into a mirror until the ground swallowed her whole and there was no more need to talk. “Well. It wasn’t a protracted conversation.”
