Brown Eyed Woman
“Well, you know it wasn’t me,” Elliott assured her as they sat next to each other about an hour later on the plane Aaron had sent. “Until Christian can hook me up with another IAC, I’m completely cut off from the world.”
She just nodded. At the end of the day, it didn’t really matter who had told Aaron about her faux pas, but when she’d exited the guest room to try to determine who the snitch was, everyone was gone except for Elliott and Cale, and the doctor insisted that he hadn’t even noticed, though Cadence didn’t believe him. He w

The Clandestine Saga She's Gone
Cadence had lost more people in the last year or so than ever before in her entire life. Through it all, it had been her grandmother’s comforting voice who had helped her keep it together. She had explained the Ternion to her. It had been in her upstairs bedroom where Cadence had Transformed, where she’d had her first meaningful conversation with Aaron. Over her Thanksgiving dinner, she’d joked with Elliott about how awful the Green Bay Packers were. As a child, she’d spent countless holidays with her family in her grandma’s living room, huddled around the fireplace, running through the back orchard chasing fireflies. The thought that all of that could be over was almost more than she could take. If it hadn’t been for Elliott’s hand in hers, reminding he
The Clandestine Saga Portal Take Two
Staring into the familiar eyes of her fiancé, Cadence could hardly believe what she was hearing. “What?” she asked, clutching both of his arms. “What do you mean she went through the portal?”“She left a letter,” he explained, his voice just as calm and serene as always. He slid his hands down her arms, and taking her hands in his, he continued. “Come on. I’ll show you.”

“How is she?” Elliott asked as Aaron stepped through the back door, joining him on a large wraparound porch that consumed most of the outside of the house.“Not good,” Aaron admitted, shaking his head. “She’ll be all right in a few days, though.” While he would like to say this was just optimism, unfortunately, he’d seen his fiancée go through enough deaths to know about how long it would take her to begin to recover. “How are you?” he asked, turning to face his friend.
The Clandestine Saga Telling the Family
As they approached Cadence’s neighborhood, Aaron turned to Elliott and said, “I don’t think you can just walk in there. That’ll be a little too much all at once.”“Right,” Elliott nodded. “Why don’t you let me out here, and I’ll disappear for a while. You can just let me know when you’re ready for me to make my grand entrance.”
The Clandestine Saga Good News and Bad News
“When did you learn about this portal of the blue moon?” Liz asked awkwardly.Despite the situation, Cadence was tempted to chuckle at her mother’s phrasing. “Grandma told me about it last week. I had no idea that she was intending to use it. In fact, I didn’t even know that you could go through it that way.”“What do you mean by ‘that way’?” Brandon a
The Clandestine Saga Open the Door
Cassidy looked at her sister for a second, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes that Cadence hadn’t seen since before the incident in Philadelphia. She also glanced at the expectant faces of her parents before she turned to look at Brandon, whose eyes were the size of saucers. Without another word, Cassidy pulled herself up off the couch and slowly proceeded to the front door. Cadence wanted to give her some privacy, but at the same time, she didn’t want to miss her sister’s expression if Elliott’s impeccable timing had led him to choose that exact moment to reveal the good news.
The Clandestine Saga A Chat with the Mother-in-Law
Cadence had fallen asleep after dinner, but not before giving Aaron careful instructions on what to do with her laundry, which she’d managed to put in the washer but hadn’t quite gotten into the drier before she’d convinced him to force her to go to bed. Clearly, she was exhausted. It had been a very long week, and her emotions had been on a roller coaster.After tucking her in, he made his way down the stairs to follow through with his promise to throw her clothes in the drier. He passed Elliott and Brandon having a conversation about sports in the living room and steered cl

Cadence slept like a rock. While she was very comfortable in the apartment she shared with Aaron in Kansas City, there was just something about being at home that always made her feel comfortable, and while she hadn’t always fallen right to sleep during any of her previous visits, the events of the last week had left her exhausted. For once, she was asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.The sun was peeking through the pink curtains that hung over each of the three windows in her bedroom when she opened her eyes to realize her sister was sitting next to her, jabbing her in the
