Chapter 56

Kas’s POV "Good morning, Luna!" Tyree chimes in a sing-song voice and gives me a toothy grin when I open the door. Lenora and Marco are right behind him, looking just as happy, "Ha HA! Today's the last day! We get to go home tomorrow! Come on, time for breakfast. The sooner we finish, the more time we have to relax later.”

"Yeah! Last day! I can't wait to get it started!" I smile at his enthusiasm and let him in the room with the to-go boxes of food.

"I noticed they didn't have a whole lotta fruit in the deliveries. I swiped this from the kitchen for you," Marco pulls a banana from his jacket pocket before he cuts up his pancakes. 1

'Thanks, Marco," I reply gratefully. I eat the banana first, then cut the rest of my food, thinking about what needs to be finished today.

"Huh? What?” I look up at her.

'You've been poking at that same piece of food for ten minutes. Have you heard anything I've said?" she looks at me, concerned.
