Chapter 20__Someone to Watch Over Me

The next day, the cops had gotten search warrants to search the Hasting house.

I was in my house, in the kitchen with Caleb.

Caleb was cooking eggs.

I hung up my phone, sighing. 

"What happened?" Caleb asked.

"The police were at Spencer's house," I answered. "They had a search warrant."

"Well, what are they looking for?" Caleb asked.

I shrugged, looking at him. "Salt?"

"No, thanks," Caleb answered, kissing me lightly, pulling away. "So, you said the cops were at Spencer's house?"

Mom walked in. "Good morning."

"Morning," Caleb told her.

"Okay, Caleb," Mom told him. "The second floor is all yours."

"I'll grab a shower," Caleb told us, walking out, leaving.

Mom took out milk from the fridge, turning to me, looking at the breakfast we had made. "Fried eggs, burned butter. The kitchen hasn't smelled like this in a long time."

I smirked. "Well, it's a good smell. I like it."

"Just don't let him make you late for work," Mom told me.

"I won't," I told her. "He can finish this on the way."

I put a fried egg sandwich into a ziplock bag.

Mom smiled. "See you tonight."

"Okay," I told her.

Mom walked out, leaving.

I walked around to Caleb's bag on the other side of the counter, unzipping a pocket to put the ziplock bag inside, finding a piece of wrapping paper inside. I pulled it out, opening it, revealing a tiny owl jewelry piece inside. I smiled.

I had taken a picture of the owl, gone to work, then to school, showing the picture to Aria, Emily and Hanna.

"It's so pretty, Dakota," Hanna told me. "When did he give it to you?"

"He hasn't given it to me," I answered. "I found it. And I wasn't looking for it, but I found it, and I took a picture, and then I just put it back."

"Why an owl?" Emily asked.

I smirked. "It's symbolic."

"Of what?" Emily asked.

I shrugged. "Of our first night in the tent. We heard owls."

"Swooping down to carry off their prey?" Aria asked.

"Okay, you cannot stop the romance," Hanna told us.

I chuckled. "Owls and tents and s'mores are all part of that night. Every perfect minute of it."

"Have you two had... another opportunity?" Emily asked.

"Not since that night," I answered. "But we do have plans."

We smiled.

Paige was talking with Noel further on. "Apples and spice?"

"Yeah," Noel answered. "It's really good for you. Healthy, which is nice."

"When did that start to happen?" Aria asked.

Paige laughed.

"Yeah?" Noel asked. "That's awesome. Are you captain?"
