“When Ryan did finally return to the villa, it was an hour after classes had ended for the day. Everyone was gathered in the main room. Kenichi and Clarisse were curled together like two kittens on a pallet they had assembled out of over-sized pillows and blankets in front of the roaring fireplace. Aria was sitting next to them reading a book aloud in a soft voice. Mackenzie and Daylan were engaged in a billiards game. Every so often, Kenichi would call out for Daylan to beat Mackenzie already. ...Eva was playing a chess game against Logan, who seemed to be too distracted by Eva to be doing very well at it. It seemed too much like a family, and it felt like a punch to the stomach to Ryan, who knew that he wasn't a part of it. He hadn't been accepted since his arrival, and it seemed like he never would be. It was the story of his life. The only person, whoever proved different was Alex. He missed her so completely, that he wanted to run back out of the villa and back to Mystique's team to demand that they go through with the plan that night regardless of the risks.MoreLessRead More Read Less
