I remember! Ani said when his description jogged her memory a little more. Kind of, she amended, sticking her tongue into her cheek.

Her eyes moved with Adi as he suddenly prostrated himself before her. She nearly made a joke about it, though there was such a heaviness about him. It stayed Ani’s tongue long enough to let Adi reveal the truth of their relationship.

Ani wasn’t entirely sure what to do with this information. She couldn’t wrap her mind around it, to be honest. She was about to reply with some enthusiastic, flippant remark like “cool!” when she spotted the tears in his eyes.

Oh! she breathed, wishing she could remember, for his sake.

Where was Tytonidae now? And what was Adi doing here? For the moment, Ani didn’t think to ask about Waxwing; she didn’t even remember that she’d had a brother before Aiden and Jay came into her life.

I get to have so many parents, Ani said a moment later, sounding a little breathy. That’s pretty lucky. Are you and—Tytonidae going to live in Brecheliant now? she wondered.
