“Why settle with just bein’ high? Come on, lets get you somethin’ to drink too.”

“That’s one way of putting it. I just prefer to keep busy and get things done.”

25. Your muse is temporarily blind.

Emmaline was in the middle of speaking when she realized that Avery had stopped paying attention to her.“Earth to Avery, you in there? “ She waved a hand in front of the girls face before leaning in.“Are you listenin’ to me or zonin’?”

“ Avery ?”     Seeing her in person was one thing, but actually saying her name with a smile?     Now that was practically torture. But Emma needed to suck it up if she wanted this plan to work,       She had spent too many long nights laying in bed planning this,       Too many early morning runs to think it all through,       there was no way she was going to back out now. Not ever.       If it meant playing the part of guilt-ridden girl then she would.              Oh the things she had to do for family.                    (Okay so it was mostly for herself, but it was for Ellis too.                      This girl was bad news. Ellis didn’t need her as a friend.                       He’d see that eventually.) “Don’t go, please. I was---”       Looking away then back with hopeful eyes.      The first step to a convincing story is convincing body language. “I was hoping we could just talk.”

“You might have? Ry–        At least it’s better than a whole bottle.        So that’s some kind of progress.”

Will sighed, not sure whether she wanted to pull her own hair out or to just humor the woman before her. In the end she decided to take a page from her father’s page. “You can lie to all of the other shield kids, Ry. But lying to me, what’s that really going to accomplish?”

“And which one of those would these fall into?”
