After receiving Bridget’s warning, I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t risk running into Nicholas, which meant avoiding the places we usually went together. Instead, I ended up in the library with Veronica.
Veronica didn’t seem surprised to see me when I joined her. She didn’t even really greet me.
As I sat down across from her at the table, the books piled high around her, she lifted her head, looked at me, and said, “I’ve made progress with teleportation.”
“You have?”
“I understand enough that I have been making attempts at it.”
She’d been researching so hard for so long, I was beginning to wonder if the secret to Hawk’s teleportation would never be uncovered. Yet here Veronica was, telling me that she had been trying it? I was stunned.
