I ruffled up Eddie's hair - in the back of my mind, I remembered being treated the same way when I was a kid. I had liked it a lot, then. Hopefully Eddie was the same way.
I looked back up at Megara as soon as I stopped messing with Eddie's hair.
"Well," I said, "I plan on leaving through the front door."
I knew that was what she was actually talking about, but I admittedly didn't really have a plan for that. I'm sure she guessed that, too - I hadn't been exactly subtle. If I had known exactly what to do or where to go, we'd have already done it.
The door to my room opened with a soft creak.
I heard Nathaniel slipped out into the hallway.
"It took you long enough," I said. Nathaniel just rolled his eyes; a little while away, I heard Asmira give a sigh.
