"You know the whole thing about not being seen together in public?" Cassie asked casually. "I think it's just Jake being paranoid. I mean, how many people have groups of friends who hang out together?" She was walking, arms linked with Marco, in the mall. "Besides, they don't even know we are human, let alone kids. They aren't looking for people walking in a mall who might not usually hang out together in school."

Marco stopped walking and unhooked his arm from Cassie; he grabbed her by the shoulders as people streamed around them in both directions. He looked her carefully in the eyes, brown bled into brown and Cassie felt like they had been standing there for hours when Marco finally released her.

"You never know," he said, smiling a little. "Better be safe than sorry, right?" He continued walking as Cassie stood, a little confused, in the crowd of people. "You coming?" He asked, calling over his shoulder.

Cassie caught up with him in front of the Gap, with a large blue sign proclaiming, rather excitedly, a fifty percent off sale on all jeans. She grabbed Marco's hand, sliding her fingers inbetween his and squeezing gently.

"Still. Some times, I would rather hang out with you than Rachel." Cassie said, nodding at the large sale sign in the window of the Gap. "There is only so much baragain hunting I can do."

"How many bets Rachel is in there right now?" Marco asked, laughing. Cassie released her grip and slid her hand up his arm to link elbows again.

"Anyway, we have a job to do." She smiled brightly, the kind of smile that reached right to her eyes and made her skin glow a little. "And I think I just found him."

"So that's where he got to!" Marco exclaimed. Ax, outside Spencers, was shaking his head and muttering about how inferior this technology is but oh! how pretty the lights are!

Cassie laughed (she laughed more in fifteen minutes they spent looking of Ax than she had in the last year) and leaned over and pressed her lips to Marco's cheek before slipping her arm from his and running to collect Ax.
