Vayra has taken longer than I had expected.
"Everything okay, baby?" Seth asked as he sat on the couch beside me, his warm hand settling on my knee. His blue eyes searched my face, concern creasing his brow. "You've been staring at that same page for twenty minutes."
I snapped the book shut. They didn't know about Vayra's mission, and I couldn't tell them about it yet. "I think I'm gonna get a headache," I said with a groan as I leaned against his shoulder.
"Want me to cook you something, love?" Jacob asked from the kitchen, his head popping around the corner with that boyish grin that always made my heart skip.
I forced a smile. He was an excellent cook, but my anxiety was through the roof. "That sounds perfect, honey," I teased, making Jacob's cheeks turn bright pink.
