A preview of the Book: The Arrow Bringer
Chapter 1: Unthinkable (part 2).
Kirstin and Shiloh are crying again but don’t speak when I sink onto the couch. Mom and Dad emerge seconds later, having regained their composure.
“Evangeline,” Mom tucks a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, “you’re going to meet us at the car in a few minutes. Dad wants to talk to you alone in the garden.”
“Why?” Kirstin grips my arm.
Mom bites her lip, her blue eyes glistening. “It’s okay.” I know Mom hates crying in front of us. “Go with Mom. Dad and I will be right there. You still need to eat dinner, so you can focus on basketball tryouts tonight.”
“No way,” Shiloh grabs my other arm. “We’re not leaving you alone.”
“I don’t want you to miss it. This is important to you, and that makes it important to me.” I pull them into my arms, kissing each of them on the head. “And I won’t be alone. I’ll be at the library with Shawn.”
“All right.” Kirstin releases my arm. “Thanks, Evie.”
“You’re welcome. I love you guys.”
“Love you, too,” they both reply, in perfect unison.
Mom hugs me next. “You’re being so brave. I love you, Evangeline.”
“I love you, too, Mom.”
I’m completely numb as she releases me and takes my little sisters by the hand. Dad’s face is expressionless as he hugs me. I don’t ask what Dr. Naveen said, because I don’t want him to speak my fate aloud. As soon as he does, it’ll be real.
