Summary

Aislinn wakes up at home with a hangover and a blur of images from the night before whirling through her mind. She tries to dodge Gram’s questions by racing to get to Seth, but Gram’s tells her that they will talk tomorrow. At Seth’s, she tries not to succumb to nausea as she replays everything that happened the night before. Aislinn is ashamed that she told Keenan that she knew they were all faeries. She wonders if the faeries will punish her by gouging out her eyes. Seth comforts her, assuring her that they will figure this out. Seth wonders what else happened, and Aislinn finds it hard to remember everything. Seth asks if she slept with him, and Aislinn wonders if that would be something that she would’ve remembered. She apologizes profusely for her actions, and Seth accepts. Seth blames Keenan for drugging her, if anything happened. Seth becomes outraged with Keenan, and tells Aislinn that he will hold her everyday, and nothing would ever change that.
