He clenched his fist tight

“Samuel, you’re squeezing me, I can barely breathe!”

Xanthea’s lips twitched, “People might think we haven’t seen each other in two years.”

“Still sassy?”

“Samuel, Ethan, stop chatting and come put with Xan!” Susanna Lopez Nightshade called out to them with a rare smile, “Ah, today is such a good day. Xan’s back, Miranda’s been out of the hospital for three days, and Matthew has some good news to share with us!”
