He wasn't crying or fussing, so they let him be.
The rooftop wind was cold and damp, stinging Quinn's face like needles. She pulled her hat down and picked up Sprout. His hands were freezing.
Couldn't he feel the cold? Quinn held his hands, but he kept squirming and making little protest noises.
Abigail and Cody were chatting about the Lynch family. Cody didn't know much since they weren't originally from here but had moved from another country years ago.
Back then, the country was a mess. Somehow, the Lynch family popped up, took down a powerful family, and backed a president into office.
Since then, they were untouchable.
Abigail's jaw dropped. "That badass?" Cody nodded. "Yeah, pretty badass." "What about you guys? If you went up against them, who'd win?" Abigail asked, curious.
Cody was taken aback, then frowned. "Why would we go up against them?" "I'm just saying. Why so serious?" Abigail said, rolling her eyes.
Cody scratched his head, stumped.
