Carefully, I reached out and picked up one of Mariah's scarves, the soft fabric still faintly carrying her scent. I pressed it to my face, letting it ground me. I wasn't sure what the journey ahead would bring, but I knew I couldn't delay any longer.

Dressing quickly, I slung the bag over my shoulder and walked out of the bedroom.

In the main living area of the cabin, my mates sat around the table, deep in conversation. Elijah's brows were furrowed, his hands gesturing animatedly as he spoke. Alex leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, while Austin and Isaiah both nodded thoughtfully.
