Chapter 44 : Mixed Signals
*Rowan*
There were two guards posted outside of my room. Luckily, they allowed Budge to be the guard inside my room, but we were effectively prisoners.
"You know, it seems a little stupid to have a fireplace in a bedroom," Budge pointed out, kicking at the ash in the fireplace. It made a little gray puff in the air.
"I mean, if we lived somewhere cold, it would be nice," I excused.
"We live on an island. It's stupid," Budge insisted.
"I won't disagree with that."
I was on my laptop, scrolling through articles online trying to see what I could do about all of this. The problem was that there wasn't a whole lot of information online about Boldovan law.
"We'll get her out," Budge assured me, coming to rest a massive hand on my shoulder.
"I know we will. I won't survive if we don't."
I wouldn't survive without her. Not just in the way that she seemed to be the only one keeping me alive, but I didn't think I could live without her by my side.
