Wow. All the veins of white rock wind into a single spot on the opposite floor of the Chapel, where a raised stage has been set against the first tier of seats. “This wasn’t what I expected. At all.” My voice echoes through the huge space, so my last words are “at all, at all, at all.” I decide to whisper-talk from now on. That echo stuff is a little creepy. Lincoln purses his lips. “You didn’t catch half of what I said on the way over, did you?” “Who me?” My tail taps my chest for extra innocence. “You.” “No, not really. You talk super-fast sometimes.” Lincoln winks. “I’ll work on that.” From across the massive floor, a small group of people wave and cheer in our direction. It’s both of our parents as well as Cissy and her boyfriend, Zeke. The place is so massive it takes forever
