Sally flashed a faint smile and said, “Alden, Kaia’s just kidding.”

Luna stepped forward, all grace in her white dress, hair cascading over her shoulders.

But the way she said it–like the words tasted bitter–gave her

away.

Luna’s expression turned icy. She averted her gaze from her best friend and stared straight ahead.
