I smile lightly at his ability to put my mind at ease after only having known me for a few short minutes, and he starts the long journey while driving like a father… slow.
“Just call me Araya,” I murmur softly, and a smile finds his lips.
“I’ll do that,” he kindly replies. “We have an unusual set up, and we stay fairly busy with interrogations due to the fact we’re so close to the unaligned borders. I hope you’re ready to get to work because there is plenty to keep you busy,” he chuckles out.
I’m ready to be completely distracted by anything but men.
“That sounds great actually. How are your medical facilities?” I ask subtly.
“We have an abundant source of olophine if that’s what you’re asking,” he murmurs hesitantly.
“You know?” I gasp.
“I told you, I have a vast knowledge of hybrids. You’ll find I’m not the typical full blood captain.”
I smile discreetly while staring out the window, and then my tears threaten to return as I stare out into the flat lands where Hale disappeared into the night. I’m never going to know why he loves breaking me. I have to learn not to care anymore. I have to be done.
