The RV cas low at our feet, and the darkness of night is fading
Jane told nized them yet Not even at the RV rentals, where they picked out two long, taupe RVs, and Charlie actually purchased a mammoth-sized, sleek-black RV that could s the other two Prettyas the FanCon tour bus
Their set-up is pretty awesome and more private than I expected At RV Campsite 12, a picnic table, fire pit, and scattered chairs are strewn between the two long RVs The vehicles do a good job of shielding their outdoor hangout area from other campsites
And the ainst the woods
Right now, everyone—and I ated around the picnic table where the three of us threw our backpacks Our appearance whipped open their RV doors and caused Jane and Moffy to rush out to me, and then SFO to sprint out to Akara and Banks
“The bleeding stopped,” Akara tells Farrow in a more authoritative tone “It’s been less than twenty-four hours They’re fine I’m fine We’re all fine”
Moffy is still rigid
His concern is like hardened ce protective of me has been hardwired into his DNA since ere little kids But at least he’s not dialing my parents
Farros slower on a piece of gum “I just can’t see a scenario where Sulli is this hurt, and you don’t life-flight her to a hospital”
Akara tries to push his hair back “Coht her to a hospital for a cut”
“Is it just a cut?” Moffy asks as he sits on the picnic table with Ripley on his lap His son holds a sippy-cup and happily watches their puppy rolling on leaves
I pullone But I don’t add that Farrow hasn’t taken off auze on my hip
Oscar, Farrow, and even Thatcher are still eagle-eyeing Akara like he’s acting weird Like he would do everything in his power to carry me to a doctor
But he didn’t
And I’ that I should’ve deht Did they downplay their pain? Did I just not look closely enough?
Did we all not look?
But the events course through , the dirt and heavy breath, the water and cold and then warht made me want to confront all the people we care about
I just wanted to seek comfort in Banks and Akara
They must’ve felt the same
Akara turns ht her I wouldn’t even drive her here I wouldn’t even call you Farrow And that needs to be the end of this” He’s such a boss leader
I start to smile
“So what you’re saying,” Oscar continues, “is that you don’t like, like Sulli”
