"You all right?"

"Yes," I said and closed my eyes

Was this a dreah about it?

I felt Harley's lips on my cheek and opened my eyes with surprise

"Thanks for worrying soso much about my happiness that you kept all this to yourself Summer It's nice to know someone is that concerned about me and my happiness"

"Then you're not mad at me?"

"Are you kidding? I can't i mad at you Well, maybe for a split second," he admitted

I sain, this time on the lips Even at this horrible time, I could stare into his face and see he really did love me

"Sleep" he whispered kissing my eyes I kept them closed, and he returned to the walls to find a way out of the trap I had put us in It was all my fault, whether he wanted to say it or not

The co an upset sto locked in this basereat effort to stay awake for Harley I guess I passed out more than just slept All I knoas I closed ain Harley, exhausted himself, was seated on the floor across from me, his back to the wall, so what looked like an opening

I glanced at my watch Because there were no s in this roo My watch told me it was just a little past six AM The sun should be up I thought Maybe they would wake soon, realize what they had done, and open that door

I lickeddown here in this cool, da fallen asleep in so aard a position and on so hard a surface I moaned with the effort to sit up Harley was so still, his lips barely treazed up the stairway

There was so that hadn't been there before

I went up the stairs and looked at as a new carton Opening the top I gazed dawn to see two bottles of water and some of Suze's homemade bread rolls, cheeses, and some sticks of what looked like beef jerky Included with it all was a sheet of paper I read ritten

I know you're angry right now I' about Suze has read the signs and told ht take control I don't believe everything she says, of course, but she been right most of the time
