I blinked at the mess, trying to comprehend what’d just gone down.
Drake slid an arm around my waist. “You alright?”
My anger vanished, leaving me numb and trembling. “I… I don’t know.”
The train exited the tunnel, daylight flooding the carriage.
“Riley?” Drake spoke gently into my ear. “Talk to me.”
But I didn’t know what to say or how to feel. All I could do was watch the bloody mud of my uncle drip from the ceiling, my mind sinking deeper into the numbness.
Hecate, hear my prayer…
Please give me a damn clue on my next move! Cheers and thanks!
“Riley?”
In lieu of a godly answer, I pulled Drake into a hug. At least I wasn’t alone in this. To hell with being mad at him. I just wanted his arms around me.
He held me so tightly he made me weep.
“I’m here, Riley. I’m not going anywhere.”
Were those happy tears breaking free?
Wow. Hadn’t shedthosein a while.
The story continues in…
