Seed of Doubt

PIPER’S POV

The silence after Nolan left was loud.

It settled into the house like smoke, curling into every corner, clinging to my skin. Kellan stood there for a moment, chest rising and falling too fast, knuckles already reddening where they had connected with Nolan’s face.

When Nolan had knocked, I had been in the kitchen making breakfast for Kellan and hangover soup. I didn't expect him at all.
