“Cal, Archer, Jenna and I managed to achieve something truly impressive: the *four-way* glance.”

“I glanced around at everyone. “It’s going to be bad. Worse than bad, probably.”“We’ll manage it,” Cal said.“Yeah,” Jenna said, smiling shakily. “We’re kind of badass in our own right.”I gripped her hand. “Damn straight.”

“Suddenly, both Archer's and Jenna's hands clamped down on my wrists.”

“I sat up so fast I practically broke the sound barrier, but it was Cal standing in my doorway, not Archer. I heaved a huge sigh, one of relief, and not even a little bit of disappointment.Of course, once I'd wrapped my mind around the fact that it was Cal and not Archer standing in my bedroom, it dawned on me that Cal was standing in my bedroom.”

“I left out the part about Cal I being betrothed. Jenna was already practically wearing a Team Cal T-shirt. I didn't want to give her any more ammunition.”

“Jenna and Archer shared a look. “-Why would we need to ‘stay in touch’?” Jenna asked. “-Well, because…Look, I can’t ask you guys to stay at Hex Hall for a whole other year. Jenna, you have Vix, and Archer, you have…Actually, what DO you have?” “-You,” he said firmly. “And a whole bunch of holy knights who want to kill me.”
