says. “The unique nature of your relationship—it’s quite fascinating. Especially with everything we’ve learned so far, it’s—”
    “What have you learned?” I jump in again.
    “—entirely possible,” Castle is still saying, “that everything is connected in a way we don’t yet understand.”
    Adam looks unconvinced. His lips are pressed into a thin line. He doesn’t look like he wants to answer.
    Castle turns to me. Tries to sound excited. “What do you think? Are you interested?”
    “Interested?” I look at Castle. “I don’t even know what you’re talking about. And I want to know why no one is answering my questions. What have you discovered about Adam?” I ask. “What’s wrong? Is something wrong?” Adam is breathing extra hard and trying not to show it; his hands keep clenching and unclenching. “Someone, please, tell me what’s going on.”
    Castle frowns.
    He’s studying me, confused, his eyebrows pulled together. “Mr. Kent,” he says, still looking at me. “Am I to understand that you have not yet shared our discoveries with Ms. Ferrars?”
    “What discoveries?” My heart is racing hard now, so hard it’s beginning to hurt.
    “Mr. Kent—”
    “That’s none of your business,” Adam snaps.
    “She should know —”
    “We don’t know anything yet!”
    “We know enough.”
    “Bullshit. We’re not done yet—”
    “The only thing left is to test the two of you together—”
    Adam steps directly in front of Castle, grabbing his breakfast tray with a little too much strength. “Maybe,” he says very, very carefully, “some other time.”
    He turns to leave.
    I touch his arm.
    He stops. Drops his tray, pivots in my direction. There’s less than half an inch between us and I almost forget we’re standing in a crowded room. His breath is hot and his breathing shallow and the heat from his body is melting my blood only to splash it across my cheeks.
    Panic is doing backflips in my bones.
    “Everything is fine,” he says. “Everything is going to be fine. I promise.”
    “But—”
    “I promise,” he says again, grabbing my hand. “I swear. I’m going to fix this—”
    “Fix this?” I think I’m dreaming. I think I’m dying. “Fix what?” Something is breaking in my brain and something is happening without my permission and I’m lost, I’m so lost, I’m so much everything confused and I’m drowning in confusion. “Adam, I don’t underst—”
    “I mean, really though?” Kenji is making his way back to our group. “You’re going to do that here? In front of everyone? Because these tables aren’t as comfortable as they look—”
    Adam pulls back and slams into Kenji’s shoulder on his way out.
    “Don’t . ”
    Is all I hear him say before he disappears.

SIX
    Kenji lets out a low whistle.
    Castle is calling Adam’s name, asking him to slow down, to speak to him, to discuss things in a rational manner. Adam never looks back.
    “I told you he was moody,” Kenji mutters.
    “He’s not moody,” I hear myself say, but the words feel distant, disconnected from my lips. I feel numb, like my arms have been hollowed out.
    Where did I leave my voice I can’t find my voice I can’t find my
    “So! You and me, huh?” Kenji claps his hands together. “Ready to get your ass kicked?”
    “Kenji.”
    “Yeah?”
    “I want you to take me to wherever they went.”
    Kenji is looking at me like I’ve just asked him to kick himself in the face. “Uh, yeah—how about a warm hell no to that request? Does that work for you? Because it works for me.”
    “I need to know what’s going on.” I turn to him, desperate, feeling stupid. “You know, don’t you? You know what’s wrong—”
    “Of course I know.” He crosses his arms. Levels a look at me. “I live with that poor bastard and I practically run this place. I know everything.”
    “So why won’t you tell me? Kenji, please —”
    “Yeah, um, I’m going to pass on that, but you know what I
