Chapter 79:
Something's Not Right
❦
Tammie rubs my head,
tangling up my hair.
Her voice
is full of affection.

understand.
It's hard to stand.
My legs
are numb
from all that
crouching.
Everything
is still
trembling.
I stagger to the main hall.
Survey

Gavin turns abruptly to face the window.
Pretends to be lost in thought.
Xavier eats a mountain of food in front of him.
David whispers to himself.

for a short while.
