I didn't stop to think about it. Instead, I begged him to take me with him, not to leave me behind. It was so shameless that when he finally left, I couldn't lift my face. I couldn't believe I begged him and was so brazen enough to cling to him.
Damn it.
I waited until he had run deep into the forest before I contacted Ryth. There was so much I wanted to ask her, to know what the fuck was wrong with me.
“I thought you wouldn't contact me anymore,” she said, her voice dark. “What have you been up to? Why haven't you sent any information back?”
I let out a sigh. “I haven't gotten a chance to do that… I only got one because Drake just left to… Did you send someone after us?” I asked, putting two and two together.
