chapter 41

"What? Why? Do you think I m lying?" The sudden rise of emotion in him has me on edge, too, and I panic that I m scaring away my only ray of hope to escaping. He appears to be running away, but as he turns to close the door, the tear I catch in his eye silences me and he pauses, taking a deep breath and lowering his hands. The open door between us keeping us a couple of feet apart, but his sadness overwhelms me.
