arm and shoulder were any indication, not about to fathom the lower bits. “Thank you.” Slipping past them, I moved easily on down the hallway, even though I felt ice blues tracking me until I turned the corner at the end of the hall. I started bounding up the stairs, my room on the top floor.

    I pointed a finger. “I did not do all of that.”
    Callie growled, “Yes, you did!”
    My blink was slow. “Well, you did tell me to have fun.”
    Her arms waved wildly while thunder pounded the ceiling. “I did not tell you to break our pool!” Her arms paused, frozen in mid-air, as she glanced at me. Her brows puckered and her tone dipped to incredulous. “Just how the hell did you manage to do that?”
    “Pure talent?” I mumbled as my wide gaze scanned from left to right, staring unblinking at the mess of the indoor pool. “Honestly, I have no clue.” I remembered being in here last night with heaps of other younger Valan. I just didn’t remember leaving the place exactly, only mere blips through the alcohol. I snapped my fingers. “I think the Shifter-beef-trio had something to do with it.”
    “Shifter-beef-trio?”
    I waved a vague hand. “You don’t want to know.” I scratched my chin, glancing at her. “I can’t pay for this.”
    “Oh, I know,” she grumbled, then fluttered her hands wildly again. “But, you can clean this place up!”
    “ Yeah... I don’t think so.” I swiftly turning on my heel, taking off at a sprint and jumping over toppled tables. I shouted over my shoulder when she took chase, “I’m your bodyguard! I can’t be absent all day long!”
    “The hell you can’t, Lana!” she hollered, her longer legs catching up in a hurry. “You’re going to clean this place—”
    “ Oomph! ” I body-planted against a wall, not watching where I was going, then I quickly spun, racing down another hallway when I heard Callie stop to laugh her butt off. “Quit laughing! It just jumped out in front of me!” I swerved, heading down another hallway, my boots taking me as fast as I could go until I hit the cafeteria. The place was packed for breakfast, my arms swinging as I slid inside the doors, with heads snapping toward me. Breathing heavily, I stood still for a moment, patting at my hair, and then gave a general wave to the populace of Valan. Then I quickly pivoted when I heard Callie’s feet pounding behind me, and I bee-lined it straight to the buffet line, cutting in the middle and using an enormous Shifter to hide me.
    Callie entered much the same way, halting inside the doors, her chest heaving, her furious gaze darting left and right as heads again snapped in the direction of the entrance. She regained her composure quickly, standing straight, swatting once or twice at her hair. When she didn’t see me, she grabbed another unlucky Valkyrie, who happened to be passing by her at the time. Saying a direct order to her, the Valkyrie instantly appeared surprised, then crestfallen as she nodded. The unlucky soul then walked from the room with her shoulders slumped.
    I chuckled quietly in victory, stepping in time with the Shifter, who was being polite enough not to give my position away, as it was obvious I was hiding. Grabbing a plate, I loaded up waffles and bacon, slathering them with syrup, then added silverware before I allowed her to see me. I merely grinned, shaking my hips once, mouthing, “ Love you.”
    She glared, her arms crossed, standing toward the back of the line next to the Queen Mermaid, Queen Nilkos, who watched on silently, appearing humored.
    I made a quick peck of a kiss in the air to her, and then grabbed an orange juice, turning to maneuver through the tables, hopping up the stairs, heading straight for my table—that was not vacant as it held two individuals. The same two who had intruded on my solitude yesterday during brunch. Pausing, I debated for all of a millisecond before I sighed and continued as it was still the least crowded table in the
