Sisters Of Salt And Iron

He kissed my forehead. “She’d rather have me knowledgeable than ignorant. Besides, she likes you.”

I arched a brow but didn’t argue. I would just have to take his word for it.

Gage had taken Roxi home, so I was on my own for the short drive back to my grandmother’s, where my mother had dropped me two months earlier. Dropped me and walked away. I tried not to think about it. Being abandoned by your own mother because you “broke her heart” sucked.

Wren didn’t pop into the car. She didn’t meet me at the door when I walked into the house. And after I tiptoed upstairs, I found my room empty. She was still with Noah, I guessed.
