Nina “Why were you two saying my name so much just now?” Eli asked quietly as he blocked my way to the door. I furrowed my brow. “We weren’t. What are you talking about?” Eli shook his head. “I heard you. You kept saying the name ‘Enzo’.” My eyes widened. His name wasn’t Enzo. It was Eli… Right?
Nina The next morning, after managing to get a few hours of sleep following my stint in the forest, I woke up with one goal in mind: to contact that witch that Lori found and see if she could offer any help. I knew that it could be a scam, but I had to try. So, after finding the forum thread that
As I began to walk home and passed by the hockey arena, however, I heard the sound of laughter emanating from inside. The door was propped open, and as I passed, I couldn’t help but stop in my tracks and stare. Inside, skating around in circles on the ice, were Eli and Sadie. I immediately felt a
Enzo I couldn’t explain the strange connection I had to this girl named Nina. She looked almost exactly like Selena; the only differences were that her eyes were brown instead of blue, and she had freckles dotted across her nose and cheeks. She wore her long, dark hair in two braids with bangs at
Neither of us spoke. It felt almost magnetic; the closer she came, the more I felt the need to stand and approach her as well, and soon we were walking toward each other with our gazes fixed firmly on one another. When we eventually stopped, I didn’t realize it at first, but we stood so close to ea
Nina That night, I ran into Eli. Although our conversation was brief, it told me all I needed to know. As I looked at him, his appearance began to morph once more into Enzo’s. His eyes became the soft brown color I had grown to love, his hair became curly and brown, and his face morphed into the h
Nina I searched high and low through the cabins in the hopes of finding some sort of lead on where Luke was, but unfortunately there was nothing. It seemed that the Fullmoons cleaned up every scrap, every little thing that would have indicated that they were even living here to begin with, and now
Nina Matt, Lori, Jessica and I all planned out how we were going to separate “Eli” and “Sadie” so we could try to break the spell on Enzo. We had to be tactful about it, because if this really was Enzo and Selena, then Selena could easily leave with Enzo again and we would have no way of finding th
Nina The warm summer breeze brushed across my skin as I stood on the patio, clutching my robe tightly around my body. Laughter and splashes echoed up from the pool below, where our friends were already gathered for our big end-of-summer party. I should have been down there too, soaking up the ve
“What... what do you mean?” He braced his hands on the doorframe, leaning in closer with a heavy sigh. “I mean, by the time I caught up to them this morning, I only saw them long enough to get that photo before they were boarding a speedboat and taking off. Hell, I’m still not even totally sure wh
Nina My breath caught in my throat as I pulled open the front door expecting to see excited party guests, only to be immediately met with the sight of Luke’s grim expression. His brow was furrowed in a deep frown, his lips pressed into a tight line—clear signs that something was very wrong. “Luk
Nina I huffed out a breath as I hoisted the oversized cardboard box higher in my arms, carefully navigating my way through the living room. Strings of fairy lights poked out haphazardly from the top, and I could feel the weight of glass jars and other assorted decor inside shifting precariously wi
Then, at the last possible second, the scout seemed to find an extra burst of speed. He surged forward, hurtling between two towering oak trees and vanishing into the cover of the forest beyond. “Dammit!” I slammed my palms against the rough bark of the nearest trunk, powerless to do anything but
Enzo The crunch of leaves and snap of twigs echoed through the trees as Matt and I tore after the Schreiber scout. Our breaths came in ragged gasps, the hot summer air burning our lungs. Overhead, a little red bird chirped and flitted through the green canopy of trees; Daphne. But even she wasn’
Shaking my head, I turned without another word and stormed out of the fitting room. I took the two strides across the hall to Jessica’s fitting room and knocked on the door, folding my arms across my chest. “Jess? You in there?” There was a muffled thump in the fitting room, followed by the soun
Nina “How’s it looking in there?” I called out, rapping lightly on the wooden door of Jessica’s fitting room. “Um… decent, I guess?” her muffled voice floated back a moment later, although I could sense the uncertainty in her tone. “Decent? That’s it? Come on, Jess, this is your wedding gown w
Had I really known him at all, I wondered? Or had I merely been too self-absorbed and naive to see past the facade of unshakable command he projected? After a long silence, I found my voice. “Why didn’t he ever tell me that?” “He didn’t want you to see his weakness, I suppose,” Angelica replied
