Grace – POV
I was frantically stuffing clothes into my bag, rushing to be ready before Grayson picked me up. Hailey, Jordan, Cole, Derrick, and Rosie had already left for the Ancient Castle, and I really wanted to go with Jacob. But he had to visit the witch to keep his identity hidden, and Zane, Noah, and Liam had to go with him to help manage his energy.
That left Grayson and me alone to drive together—a situation neither of us was thrilled about. We weren’t exactly on speaking terms. I grabbed my suitcase, tucked it into the car’s trunk, and slid into the passenger seat. Grayson was fidgeting with his phone, but as soon as I sat down, he started the engine and sped off. I stared out the window, avoiding eye contact, determined to keep the silence going.
