"Sash," he repeats "Wake up Let’s go eat and hit the road"

"What tiroan "Are we in a hurry?" Silence I open one eye and look at hiainst the same pillow His brown eyes are scrunched up like he’s confused "What?"

"I’ clearly"

I just stare at hi, because if I do, I’ll cry

"He’s not dead He’s Tet, for fuck’s sake OK? He’s not dead"

But we called Merc last night after we got the room and Merc said he can’t find hi breath "We won’t know until we know, Sash But… even if he is, he’d wantHe’d want Harper to be safe And now that I know she’s back with et that fucking file"

I roll over on the bed and turn my back to him "You shouldn’t have let Harper have it if it’s so valuable"

"She was safer with it, Sasha It gave her power"

"It alot her killed" I turn back over "She was dead James saved her" I look away "He saved me too," I mumble

"What’s the deal with the two of you?"

I sit up and throw the covers off because obviously sleep time is over "What do you mean?" I’m still fully clothed so I just slip ets up off the bed and when I turn to look at him, his scowl is even more pronounced "He was possessive of you He threatenedhave you really known him?"
