I knew I had been sick this week, but I didn’t realize how sick until I forgot to post SSS. Sorry for the delay. Here is my excerpt.
My claws lengthened and drummed against the half-raised glass, plinking like raindrops on the windowpane. Dillon shook his head as if saying not now, I’m busy. As if I weren’t worth his time. A frustrated growl rumbled in my chest as he stiffly set off for the far side of the yard.
Dillon. I hadn’t meant to think his name.

Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.
