Chapter 0379

Nina

Luke and Matt decided to take shifts keeping an eye on Selena. I didn't think that she would be able to accomplish much, and it seemed as though my words about the Luna opened her eyes a bit earlier, but I was still glad to have my friends around to help with that. I would have done it myself, but I was utterly exhausted from everything.

He had the television on with a movie picked out, and had ordered some sides with the pizza.

And if that sense of normalcy began
