WINTER'S POV I sat on the kitchen counter, helping Mrs. H cook, at least that's what I'm telling myself. In reality, I'm staring out into space. "What are you so moody about, Winter?" Mrs. H's voice snapped me out of my reverie. "Nothing. You better take a good look at my face now. I'm going to be very busy as from next week." "Busy is good for you." She nodded slowly. "It makes you sharper and more aware." "It's okay to admit that you're going to miss me." "Are you going out of town?" "No, but..." "I think I'm going to be fine." She said sassily. The oven pinged, and she went over to it. My own phone buzzed beside me, and I hopped off the counter to answer my phone. I didn't bother to look at the caller ID. Only two people called me, Jane and Kaden. It would be three if I count
