And suddenly I feel awkward.

Like I'm standing somewhere I don't belong.

Wulfy is the principal.

Grimm is apparently someone important enough that Wulfy looks genuinely surprised to see him.

And I'm...

Me.

Aggie Daniels.

Alchemy professor.

Thirty-six.

Single.

Wearing a purple polka-dotted dress and carrying a half-eaten candy bar in my pocket because I fed the other half to a giant Wolf.

Yeah, it is definitely time for me to go.

“I'll let you two catch up.”

Neither man answers immediately.

Wulfy is already asking Grimm something I don't quite hear.

Good.

Perfect.

Escape achieved.

I turn toward the gym.

My heels click against the walkway as I head for the door.

One step.

Two.

Three.

Something prickles along the back of my neck.

Not magic.

Awareness.

That strange feeling you get when you know someone is watching you.

I tell myself not to look.

Keep walking, Aggie.

Go inside.
