My stomach twisted into knots. For some reason, I knew that he had something important to say to us, and the way he was walking made me think that, whatever it was, I wasnt going to like it

Rowan waved and said, Uncky!his attempt to say uncle. It was adorable, and Sorens face lit up. He went over to his nephew and carefully stopped the swing Vicky had been pushing

Also, I had a feeling that Soren hadnt picked this task randomly. It meant something to him

You asked for it,Ethan finally agreed with a smirk

I picked up a bag of clothes for us to change, and the three of us took off running through the dewcovered grass
