All my friends, my classmates, turned into statues with a single command. This was a curse. Being her daughter was a curse. I’d thought it was a gift. But no. This would be my undoing. I took a gulp of air, trying to think. To get my mind to work. All my closest confidants were…

“Did you do something to her?” I pursed my lips to suppress a laugh. Zane glanced from Dad to me. “No, sir. I would never hurt her.” “I’m not asking about hurting her.” “Honey,” Mom scolded, thankfully intervening. “What’s wrong with you? Stop embarrassing the children.” I smiled, my eyes on the floor. “If you…

Finally. I turned fully onto my side, head propped on my arm, and stared at him. At the blue of his eyes, softer than any sky I’d ever seen. His lashes were thick and shadowed his cheeks, and his perfectly clear skin, like he was made of marble. His hair had grown back, longer now,…

“Right. And why?” “Because sodium’s dramatic. Like you.” I narrowed my eyes at him. He leaned forward. “Or maybe like me. Definitely like me when you smile at someone else.” I rolled my eyes, trying not to laugh. “Stop flirting.” “I’m not flirting,” he said, eyes shining. “I’m making scientific observations.” I shook my head,…

Did you hold her hand?” “Did she like you?” Aaron asked, eyes narrowed. “Was she glowing silver?” Christy muttered,…

I gulped. “Not her Mom, Christy. I mean, her birth mother.” Christy stared at him, then scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Nice try, Zane.” She rolled her eyes. “It’s true,” I whispered. “At least that’s what the woman outside is saying.” Now they all froze, eyes so wide I was afraid they’d fall off their faces….
