Shannon tried to play it cool, but she could see on the faces of both Noah and Casey that they knew what she intended--given away by every lingering touch to the tool bench and hungry gaze at the farmhouse. Later, there would be words, warnings from the whole troupe, all the careful planning that probably was meant to happen before a decision like this got made at all. For now, though, there was only the quiet breathing space where the two siblings touched foreheads and understood each other perfectly without saying a thing: Shannon would not be leaving with the rest of them.
