Christianna

Meg turns off the music and moves toward us, absently scratching Treble as he comes up to her.

“What’s going on?” she asks, grabbing a towel to blot the sweat from her face.

“She walked the dogs and found a dead rodent,” Erik says. “One of the security team took it away.”

Meg blinks and glances at me, one brow arching.

“The Notes found something covered in flies near the wall in the back,” I say. “It was disconcerting. I texted Remy, and…”

Erik shakes his head. “Yes. I just said that.” He gives my hand a gentle tug. “Let’s get you some water.”

He’s already guiding her toward the kitchen.

Meg shrugs, trailing after us.
