  28. All About Torri
  29. Also by Torri

I ran over to the dining room, watching her walk away without so much as a look back. I kept banging on the glass, screaming. “Hannah! Hannah, don’t you dare do this to me! Hannah!” Tears were openly streaming down my face now as I thought about the rest of my life spent in this stunning godforsaken house. “I thought you loved me! Hannah!” I screamed and banged and yelled in vain as her beautiful blue dress swished out of sight, never to be seen again. Eventually I tired, slumping to the floor while my head sank to my chest.

All the money in the world couldn’t help me now. I was jinxed.

9. Theo

Quiet conversation caught my ear as I climbed the stairs to my room. Interestingly enough, it was coming from Felix’s room, which was normally the quietest of all. Quiet, and pretty, because Felix had the nicest room in the house. Facing south, it caught the most sunlight, and felt the most free. I tiptoed down the hall as silently as my still slightly buzzed body would allow. I was curious to see what he could possibly be saying to Savannah. If I was honest with myself, I was mildly jealous at their alone time as well.

Which was crazy. No less crazy, I supposed, than being stuck in a cursed house, unaging, for the last thirty years of my life. No less crazy than the ridiculous series of bad luck that struck me continuously. I had known Savannah for less than a day, but I wanted her to be mine, and mine alone.

I wasn’t dumb. I saw the look Luther gave her when we walked in together. I couldn’t help but notice how Felix tensed as he looked Savannah over from top to toe. It would’ve been a lie to say that wasn’t my intention when I grabbed her hand right before we entered the dining room. I wanted them to be jealous, to see how she was drawn to me, just like all those girls had been in my past. There was something about knowing people were jealous of you, and what you could do. The advantage of having something they didn’t that made me feel actually lucky.

Three dudes. One girl. And all of us wanted her. This could only be an absolute mess, right? But we had been trapped in isolation for far too long for a pretty girl not to have an effect on all of us. We would’ve had to have been dead to not notice her. To be fair to her, I wasn’t sure she wanted any of us. I hadn’t stopped to ask. But her body language had spoken more than words ever could.
