As soon as | got on the plane, | shut my eyes and zonked out. Didn't say a word to Wayne the whole
flight.
He must've known | wasn't in the mood, because he didn't bother trying to talk.
When we finally landed, | turned to him. "I'm going to see Hayden. I'll grab a cab."
He hesitated for a second. "My parents are here."
I tensed up. "You told them?"
"Yeah," he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "They've been freaking out about you. When you
were out, they called, like, every ten minutes to check in, so-
I cut him off. "I get it. I'll let them see I'm alive and kicking so they can chill."
We headed toward the exit together, and sure enough, | spotted Lindey and Matthew in the crowd,
looking all worried.
"Rea!" Lindey waved the moment she saw me.

| waved back and hurried over with Wayne.
Lindey grabbed my hand right away, her eyes all emotional. "Oh, you silly girl... what do | even say to you?"
She looked like she wanted to callreckless, but if | hadn't been, her precious son might not have made it.
Instead, she pulledinto a hug. "You're our brave girl. A total blessing."
Matthew gave a soft chuckle. "Alright, she's fine now. No need for the waterworks."
"You're right," Lindey said, dabbing her eyes. "You and Jace are both safe, and that's all that matters."
"We're really sorry for everything," Matthew added quietly, resting his hand on my shoulder.

only to realize | was totally wrong.
This time, though, I didn't want to jump to conclusions needed to ask them straight up.
"Matthew, Lindey... you both knew Jace and | had the sblood type, didn't you?" | asked, watching their faces
stiffen.
Matthew hesitated, then nodded.
"Are you thinking we didn't tell you for sshady reason?" Lindey asked, already catching onto where my

"But not tellingmadeoverthink it even more," | said flatly.
Matthew sighed, looking guilty. "We underestimated you."
He wasn't wrong. They had.
I hadn't just saved their son-1 almost lost my life doing it.
"It's our fault, both mine and Matthew's," Lindey said. "We didn't want you two carrying that weight
around. Your blood types are so rare, and we thought if you knew, you'd always feel anxious, like
it'd hang over you, affecting everything." Chapter 477
