Now why would he specifically bring that up. Is he implying that he touched my other drawers? I said he could, so why did he bring it up? Curiosity is enough to force me out of bed. I open

y dresser and it takes a minute for my mind to understand. Did Bellamy… re- fold all my clothes? Everything I own is stacked in neatly folded piles. Far tidier than any folding I bother with. I check the next drawer and find the same thing. My top drawer has a pile on the left that clearly belongs to Bellamy. I guess he made space and… re–organised my dresser? Huh, was it really that bad or is he just a little OCD? I open my bottom drawer and as promised, it’s just as messy as ever. Well, at least I know he didn’t go through that one, although I now feel like I need to sort it nicely to make it match the rest. Maybe I’ll do that later. Impulsively, I grab my phone and call Bellamy. He answers quickly.

“Good morning.” I notice his tone is more restrained than normal. I can hear voices in the background.

“Hi, wait, are you in a meeting right now?” I demand.

“Yes.” He answers simply.

“Then why did you answer?!”

“Because you called.” I’m stumped for a second, then I remember that Bellamy is actually.

If that’s the case, even the Shifter’s sensitive noses won’t be of any use in hunting for clues. All they’re going to smell is magic. I really don’t know what to do. I know I SHOULD tell Bellamy, but I really think my current security arrangement. is plenty. It’s not like the unknown person made it into my house. Bellamy was here last. night and they still delivered the letter. As long as it’s just a letter it’s not like it’s any more of a threat than he’s already expecting. What I really want to know is what the sender means by ‘I know what you did.‘ What are they referring to? I’d like to know what exactly I did that inspired them to send me weird warning letters. I can’t think of anything particularly problematic. I mean,

I could destroy the note, but I’m not that dumb. If the problem continues then I’m going to need the note as evidence. But I don’t think it’s likely. Anyone who sends anonymous notes has to be a coward. I’ll probably never hear from them again. A knock at my door tells me that Aaron has arrived. I didn’t realise it had
