Chapter 13

“Sorry there,” Jake reached out and steadied her. “Didn’t see you.”

“Didn’t think I was that short.” She sent a shaky little smile up at the huge man and signed hello to Jon. “I mean, I’m pretty short in comparison. How’s my car?”

“I knew it was going to be something like that.” That push and pull hit her again and she had to fight to shake it off. “Do you have any idea how long it’ll take?”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to make another plan on how to get out of here.” Siana said, slumping briefly before she pulled her shoulders straight.
