By the time Wisteria got to Amanda’s house, she felt sweaty and out of breath.
“ Are you okay?” Garfield opened the door. “You look like hell.”
“ I feel like death warmed up.” She staggered forward. “What are you doing here? Are you and Amanda—”
“ I came to get the stuff I left here.” He held up his backpack.
Feeling dizzy, Wisteria slumped.
“ I got you.” He lifted her off her feet.
“ Is she okay?” Amanda came to the door.
“ I’m fine.” Wisteria answered softly “I can walk. Put me down.”
Garfield carried her inside and laid her on Amanda’s bed.
“ You shouldn’t have gone to see your mum.” Amanda came in with a glass of water. “She gets you so upset.”
“ I’ll never learn.” Wisteria wheezed.
“ I should go.” Garfield glanced at Amanda.
“ Yeah, you should,” Amanda muttered.
“ Wait, Garfield, we should—” Wisteria wanted to tell them both what happened, but remembered she couldn’t because Nate Weiss, Amanda’s father was a Thayn. “Let’s talk later.”
He ’d been renewed by Coia years ago, but had been renewed again by her son Jason, when they thought Coia was dead to stop him from losing his mind. Jason had assured them Nate would be loyal to him but as a precaution, they never discussed Coia, Bach or the Family in Amanda’s house.
As usual, any argument Wisteria had with her mother ended up being about one of those subjects.
Your moon will reflect in his eyes. Her mother’s words echoed in Wisteria’s mind as she drifted to sleep. She woke up in the middle of the night, sweating in the cool night air. Rising slowly, so she’d not disturb Amanda, who was in bed next to her, she went over to the barred window, drew the curtains and watched the moon . She missed Bach. If there was any person she could talk to about how mad she was— it was him. There’d always been something about being with him that calmed her. She needed to get him back.
“ What time is it?” Amanda whispered.
Wisteria picked up the manual alarm clock and held it to the moonlight. “Half two.”
“ Don’t over think what happened with your mum. You should get back to bed.”
“I’m going for a walk.” Wisteria picked up her boots.
“ Now? No, you almost passed out earlier.”
“ I’ve slept, so I’m okay.”
“ And it’s after curfew. What if you get picked up?”
“ I won’t. Mulberry Orchard isn’t very far from here.”
“ You’re going to Mulberry Orchard now?”
“ Yeah, to speak to someone who’ll give me answers and I’m going to do it before my mum wakes up.”
“ Who?” Amanda whispered.
“ Silas Cheung, he knew a lot about what RZC did to me and maybe he’s got some information on my father.”
“ He’s refused to talk to you since your mother discovered he told you about Bach. Why do you think he’ll change his mind—because you’re showing up at two in the morning? You could beat it out of him when we get there.”
“ We?”
“ You’re not going alone. Last thing I need is you passing out on your way there. Garfield would love that.”
Chapter Eight
Cross me and you’ll wish you’d fed yourself to the biters years ago
“ Garfield told you about us?” Amanda whispered as they headed toward Mulberry Orchard in the dark.
Wisteria didn ’t answer.
Amanda was one of her few friends in Smythe. She didn’t want to lose her friend and after Garfield almost lost it earlier, she wasn’t keen to get into it with Amanda. Plus, seeing David with Zola this afternoon made the whole situation a great big mess.
“ I love Garfield. I do with all my heart,” Amanda defended. “I’ve never met a guy as nice or sweet as him.”
Wisteria continued in silence.
“But I’m totally in love with David. When I look at him, I get butterflies.” Amanda pressed her hands to her chest.
“ David feels the same?” Wisteria doubted.
If David loved Amanda he wouldn’t have been with Zola. If he cared
