Anna let him hold her close. She liked it. It had been a long time since she had been held like this. She was quiet for a bit after he finished talking. She wasn’t really sure how to respond to that. Curses could likely be real. Her wallet buzzed giving her a moment to think as she checked it. It was Elyse and Anna didn’t hide the screen from Cade. If he wanted to read it, he could.
”Elyse doesn’t know any monsters that leave messages like that. She’s less worried about it than I am. If it was dangerous it would be eating your face off. Still suggests being cautious and, of course, ask Nox about it.”
She set her wallet down on the bed, not wanting to get out of Cade’s arms to put it away. ”I don’t know anything about curses. I wish I knew what to say to help.” she was really at a loss for words. She debated making a joke to lighten the tension, but decided not to. It didn’t seem respectful.
