Chapter 853

• Calla couldn’t pick up anything from Ellery. His expression was always the same. His voice never altered. The only thing she knew was that he wasn’t from a bear clan. He was very slight and so nervous; she wanted to say his animal was a smaller-sized one because he was very jumpy and paranoid. Each time there was a sound in the house or outside of it, he jolted and had to look. She’d been standing here for roughly fifteen minutes trying to strike up some kind of conversation, but so far, all he’d done was ask her questions. What her size was, did she have food preferences, and what her helpful skills were. That one amused her that he’d added the word helpful.
• His phone pinged and he jumped a few inches off the chair before he grabbed it and looked at it. He stood up quickly. “I’ll-I’ll be right back.” His tone definitely changed that time. He hurried from the room.
• Calla stood there for a few minutes. When he didn’t come back, she went over to the switch on the wall with the tape above it. She looked at it and then shook her head. She couldn’t even figure out how to change the clock in a car. Thinking she was going to figure out the switch was pure fantasy.
