“Cody?” Celeste said, raising a brow. “Everything okay?”
Cody’s brain seemed to short-circuit, and he just blinked. He opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Morgan cleared her throat, smoothing out her black dress. “Hi,” she said shyly, offering him a little smile. “I don’t think we met the last time I was here.” Her eyes darted to me, clearly nervous, before her gaze settled back on Cody. She straightened up and walked a few steps closer, holding out a hand to the young shifter. “My name is Morgan Fletcher. It’s nice to meet you.”
