'' Hey, how'd your date with Abby go? You're back before curfew, so it must've been good' Deuce asked. '' It was amazing. Is this what being in love is like?' Heath grinned. '' Yeah, it is, and I have no intention of introducing her to my mother' Deuce murmured. '' Lyra, or your other mother?' Heath asked. '' No, Mama Lyra is supportive. I have no intention of introducing her to the council's puppet' Deuce answered, bitterly. '' Do you think things are ever gonna get better between you two?" Heath asked. '' If she doesn't stop acting the way she is, then no' Deuce murmured. '' I'm sorry' Heath murmured. '' It's ok' Deuce muttered, as he quickly pulled out his ICoffin. '' Who are you texting?' Heath whispered. '' Claws' Deuce whispered. '' Why?' Heath whispered. '' So we can talk, I'll be back in 10 minutes' Deuce whispered. '' But what about cur-' Heath began, as he slipped out of the room. '' I hope they don't get caught' Heath whispered.
'' So the council technically manipulated your mom into doing whatever they want, and you and your other mom are trying to get her to stop listening to them?' Clawdeen asked, as the couple was sitting outside. '' Yeah.. I'm sorry to dump all of this on you, but I didn't want to keep any sec-' Deuce began. '' Hey, hey, it's ok, I can take it. I'm your girlfriend, I want to be here for you' Clawdeen softly murmured, as she caressed his cheek. '' I love you' Deuce blurted out.
