Under Their Skin
“Nick hissed, coming up behind Eryn.
She turned her head just enough to frown at him, but scooted slightly to the left.
Eryn’s shovel was in his way, so he took it from her and tucked it—and his own—under the tree branches, mostly out of sight. Then he pressed his forehead against the cold bottom pane of the window, his face just high enough to bring his eyes level with the lowest part of the glass. He could see a living room—or maybe it was a family room—with floral couches and ruffled ...curtains. He felt sorry for Jackson, and maybe for Ava, too; apparently their mom liked stupid fussy, frilly stuff.
Then Nick realized Ava and Jackson were sitting on one of the couches.
Why did it take me so long to notice them? Nick wondered.
How had they blended in so completely with the flowery pattern?
They were sitting so still. Nick had never known anyone his own age who could sit completely motionless like that.MoreLess
