Light of Day (2015)
“The upside was I got to see my friends and catch up in my classes. The downside? I had to hear everyone cheering about Bree’s rescue from some horrible pimp.
If they only knew.
Adriana had rescheduled the zombie club meeting for today at lunch. The atmosphere in the basement chapel was suitably spooky, with the overcast day blotting out the sunlight from the windows. The chapel smelled funkier than usual, like a mix of mustard and mothballs. Or maybe it was whatever Rory was eating for lunch.
“...Are you feeling better?” Adriana asked me.
“Oh yeah, it was just a cold. All gone now. I probably could’ve come back yesterday.”
