It’s unlike her to sleep in, so a smug smile tugs at my lips as I take the stairs two at a time as I think of Emily still asleep after I wore her out last night.

When I finally reach her bedroom, I find the door open and the room empty.

“Em?”

The bathroom door is open too, and it’s deathly quiet, so I know she’s not in there taking a shower.

I try not to panic, but when Igor Ivanov has a target on Emily’s back, it’s hard not to. So, I pull out my phone and shoot her a message.

Me

Where are you?

Emily

At school!

I groan. “Of course you are.”

Me

You could’ve told me you were going to school early.

Emily

Where's the fun in that? :)

Besides, isn’t that something you should’ve known, considering your one job is to follow me?

Me

I have an actual job, remember?

Emily

Right… Managing the club your cousin doesn’t really let you manage…

I smirk at her response.

Fuck, I’ve missed her. For a while, I honestly thought that we were never going to get back what we had. But I hope that last night served as a fresh start for us.

Me

Ouch.

Emily

So… Are you going to come and protect me or not?

There’s some shady looking people in the library.

My spine straightens as I read her message.

Is she being serious right now?

Emily

There’s a girl opposite me with a hello kitty stuffy.
