I nod, still a little surprised before I realize Cass has wrapped herself around my arm a little. With the arm she holds, I paint to the bottom corner of the painting that has my mother’s family stamp from China and then her her signature underneath that. [color=F7941D]”My grandma and mom made this apparently.”[/color] I step a little closer and almost broke down. Underneath my mom’s signature is my sister’s initials. I reread the inscription. 

[center][i]This painting spanned 3 countries and 3 generations before it was finished. Donated by the Wu family after the death of their daughter Kiki.[/i][/center]

[color=F7941D]”And my sister…”[/color] At this point I’m glad Cass is next to me because I felt ready to just turn into a puddle of tears at any moment.

I set the cello down gently before I take the drink, following Caden’s actions in how to enjoy it. At his words, I snap my teeth together loudly in a bite before I take a sip of my drink. [color=FFF79A]“I’m only more open because you taught me how to be.”[/color] I lean back in my chair and set my drink down, crossing my arms. It felt embarrassing to me that Caden had even seen any of that behavior from me. Sure. I’m hot headed, but I haven’t let someone get under my skin like this since I was 13. 

[color=FFF79A]“We got into a fight with those stray werewolves while leaving the club last night - no big deal, we handled it just fine.”[/color] I make sure to add so Caden doesn’t worry about it. [color=FFF79A] “I complimented his fighting style and the man damn near bit [i]my[/i] head off.”[/color] I pick up my drink to take another sip. Not to mention, he trusts Nero much more than he will probably ever trust me… He trusts the [i]demon[/i] more than an old family friend of Caden’s.
