I look up at Caden and tilt my head. [color=#9B111E]“It looks like your dragon trumps my demon - I’ve been wondering which of us is stronger.”[/color] I grin, a little thrilled that Caden [i]could[/i] cause harm if he ever wanted to. The cut is healing, but more at the rate an average human’s wounds would heal.

I bob my head in time with Cass’ tapping, chuckling. [color=F7941D]“My mom used her music to teach her after-school dance club… which of course she made me do while I was a student at her school.”[/color] I look over and grin at Cass for a moment before focusing back on the road.

[color=F7941D]“She used them for timing the warm up stretches so she had a routine down pat.”[/color]

After failing to calm down with yoga, I finally decide to go for a swim. Cold water seemed like a good way to get Avery out of my head. I change into the black two-piece and grab a singular towel from Caden’s office on my way to the pool. I stick the towel into a cabinet to hide it before I dive in. 

And of course, the first thing that pops into my mind as I close my eyes is Avery. It’s the image of him from yesterday, when he had been swimming himself and was half naked, his muscles wet with water. 

I breach the surface and gasp for air, suddenly feeling like I didn’t have enough air. [color=FFF79A]“You are [i]depraved[/i] Kiki.”[/color] I mutter angrily to myself.
