KESTER.

I never believed the journey from the Crimson Valley pack was such an effortless adventure as June made it seem-twice in twenty-four hours, she showed up at my doorstep like a stray with nowhere else to be.

I had just finished crafting the perfect plan to handle Karina when a knock at my bedroom door shattered the satisfaction I'd barely begun to savor.

She didn't even let me bask in the moment of my anticipated victory before she ruined it

with her tedious presence.

"What are you doing here, June?" I asked calmly, my voice a perfect description of

disinterest wrapped in civility, as I pulled on my shorts and vest, carelessly tossing away the towel from my waist.

Her eyes followed my movements until they stopped at the slight swell in my shorts.

I sighed, not bothering to hide my impatience. "Is there something you need, June?" I asked, pulling her out of whatever stupid fantasy that must be running through her head

She replied, wiping her palm on her straight, red gown that stopped just slightly above

her knees.

I leaned against the table, exhaling slowly. "You can't keep dropping by so frequently,

June. I don't have all the time in the world for... leisure."

and everything, it's been overwhelming. I could use your help, too."

Her designer bag landed on my bed with a feeling of entitlement.

I scoffed, sitting on the chair beside the table.

“Tell me, June..." I placed a finger to my temple, "What's your father's plan for me?"
