CHAPTER 6

ELLIS

I rememberedto grab my glasses off the counter by the sink before I ran after Shane to the front door. I was actually a little relieved to have a potential emergency to deal with, because then I could stop freaking out about my bond with Shane for a while.

Not that I wasn’t happy to have it—I was fucking ecstatic—but ever since we’d woken up, I’d been low-key stressing, thinking of all the issues we’d have to deal with. We didn’t know each other well; what if all my little habits irritated Shane? What if his irritated me? What if he thought my hobby was too dorky and made fun of me? Where would we live? What about our jobs? What would our families and friends think? Not to mention, what was wrong with our magic?

So, yeah, right now I was glad to focus on who or what was on the other side of the door Shane was pulling open.

Which was nothing.
