Asleep/Chapter 3

Amaranta's POV
I rolled my eyes. "No, Grace, it's juno"

Of course I'd known Devon was there the whole time. He was dead awful at stealth. I hadn't had time to call him out before, though-combining magic and mechanics was a delicate practice.

"When- when did you get back? How long are you staying? Are your parents here? When-"

"Whoa! Give yourself a chance to breathe!" I said, laughing.

Devon's face reddened, "Sorry, it's just I- we missed you."

For some reason I smiled at his misuse of pronouns. "Well, I just got back about an hour ago. My parents are here, with Sammy, their back up at the Camp. I wanted to come up here first, though. And-" I looked at the ground. "We're only staying the day."
