Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Chaos Personified

CHAOS

BOOK TWO: THE ETERNAL DAUGHTER SERIES

Pathetic, really, that's me. Eve, Daughter of Life and Death, Chaos personified, Creation's biggest disaster waiting to happen and more powerful than the gods of the Pantheons and Mistress of the newly woken Mist realm. With far better things to do, one would think, than lurk behind a burly maple tree on the outskirts of a park watching the tall, handsome mortal boy play basketball with his friends.

Like I said, pathetic. And yet, I couldn't stop myself or resist peeking in on him. Adam Worth had been a source of comfort for me not so long ago, a dying young man in a hospital bed with a quick and kind sense of humor, a big heart despite his impending passing and his own layers of pain that made me feel like we might be two peas from the same sad, broken pod.
