I went down to the cabin, went into the bathroom, and shut the door. Closing the toilet lid, I sat down and took a long deep breath. I wasn’t ready for Grayson to meet Luna yet, but it happened, and I could do nothing about it. I just prayed he wasn’t freaked out.
After leaving the bathroom, I walked past the kitchen and saw Jackson grabbing a beer from the refrigerator.
“Want one?” He asked with a smile.
“Sure. Thanks.”
“Can I talk to you about something for a moment?” he asked.
“Sure. What is it?”
“Please don’t be offended by what I’m about to say.”
“Okay.” I breathed out a laugh. “I’ll try not to be.”
“I really need to see your brain. Would you be willing to let me do a brain scan?”
“Dr. Jackson Kind,” Charlotte snapped as she walked down into the cabin. “You better not be asking her what I think you are.”
“It’s okay, Charlotte. Yes, Jackson. You may do a brain scan on my brain.”
“You are the best.” He hugged me. “We’ll set up something for next week.”
“Sounds good.” I smiled.
“You’re not a guinea pig, Ava,” Charlotte said.
“I know I’m not, and he’s not using me like one. He’s a neurosurgeon, Charlotte. The brain is his expertise. If it’ll help him understand it better, then so be it. I don’t mind.”
“The others might,” she said.
“They won’t. I’ll have a talk with them.”
“Hey, what’s going on down here?” Grayson walked over to us.
“Just having some girl talk.” I smiled.
“The sun is starting to set. Come up and watch it with me,” he said as he hooked his arm around me.
“It would be my pleasure, Dr. Kind.” I laid my head on his shoulder.
“By the way, I forgot to ask you. We’re all going over to my Aunt Barb’s tomorrow for her fiancé’s birthday. Would you come with me?”
“Yeah. That sounds like fun.”
My phone dinged, and when I looked at it, I saw a text message from Hannah.
“Hey, I won’t be home tonight. I met up with Austin, and, well, you know. I’ll see you sometime tomorrow.”
“What happened to making better decisions?”
“Blah. Blah. You know how it is with us. Love you.”
“Love you too. Have fun.”
“Hannah won’t be coming home tonight,” I said.
“Why?”
