Falcon:

Glad she found somewhere she feels comfortable.

Cara:

Me too. She wants yellow curtains.

I smile.

Falcon:

Of course she does.

Cara:

I blame you for encouraging her.

Falcon:

Pretty sure that was you.

Cara:

I was trying to keep her conscious. I didn't realize I'd be decorating around it.

I laugh, and Vulture looks over from the other end of the table.

"Something funny?" he asks.

"No."

"Is that Cara?"

"Do you want to keep all your teeth?" Why does everyone think they can interfere in whatever is happening between me and Cara?

"Definitely Cara," he says, grinning, and I turn my phone facedown, and another message comes through anyway.

Cara:

Are you busy?

That question's different than the rest of it.

Falcon:

Church just finished. We found a possible Merrick location. I'm staying at the compound while others check it.

Cara:

You're staying?

Falcon:

Yes.

Cara:

Okay. Thank you for telling me.
