Chapter 1992

In the car, Aurora, who had abstained from alcohol, took the driver's seat. Keegan settled into the passenger seat while Stella and Aldor occupied the back, flanking a thoroughly drunken Jaylene.

Throughout Spencer's ramblings, Stella had tested Jaylene's level of intoxication, finding her slurring her words to the point of incoherence. Stella tapped her fingers against the car window, her face tight with thought. Abruptly, she turned to Keegan, "Did Jaylene ever give you that drug?"
