Chapter 44
Glenda waited until they heard a door upstairs slam closed, then she hurried over
to Camila.
“You don't look well. Are you ill?”
Camila shook her head. “No.”

strong, muscular body.
Just like that, Isaac got mad all over again. He all but roared at her, “What are
you doing?”
Camila was having a nightmare. In her dream, two massive snakes had wrapped
