Chapter 22
Kat
After cleaning ourselves up, Otto checks on Damian.
He’s still sound asleep, so we head up to the roof to practice shifting.
It’s easier for me to control myself than it was yesterday.
Otto says it’s because we consummated our connection.
I don’t know if he’s right or if I’ve just gotten more used to my new dragon side.
Either way, I’m grateful for the practice.
He shows me how to cloak myself from humans so no one can see me, and we fly a couple of laps around the building before going back inside to make lunch. While Otto makes sandwiches, I sit on a stool at the counter and text Lincoln.
You doing okay?
Lincoln:
Yep. You?
I laugh, completely unsure how to answer that question.
I will be. Did you finish your homework?
Lincoln:
Yeah. Miss Mei asked me to babysit, so I’ll be over there for a bit, then Matt and I are going to the art supply store.
I’m not sure when he started telling me his plans instead of asking, but it’s a recent enough development that I’m still getting used to it.
“Do you like mustard and mayo?” Otto waves the condiment bottles at me, distracting me from my phone.
I shake my head, gagging at just the sight of the mayonnaise. “Mustard only.”
That’s fine. I might be out for a while.
Otto made it sound like going to this high temple could take the rest of the day and maybe into the night.
Lincoln:
Can I spend the night at Matt’s? It’ll give you some privacy ;)
