Summary
“Um. Dess? Can we go home now?” I still don’t know why she’s really brought me here.
There’s a moment’s pause, and I still have enough in me to feel a little jolt of worry that she’ll get upset.
…But then her hand goes over mine. She smooths out the fist I didn’t realize I was clenching, and her hand is so warm. It feels like a promise, curling over each finger, and pulling it closer to her side. My gaze slides up to her face.
…Her eyes are anything but warm.
She’s watching me, closely.
“You’re a big kid, yeah?”
Her hand is so warm.
“I need you to be brave for me, okay?”
It feels like a prison.
