?Okay,? Doc said warilyWhy couldn't he keep his tone casual? He was a human?he should have been a good liar?Hungry?? Ian murmured, and I noddedHe latched on to my hand, and I
knew he would be keeping a tight hold on me nowThat didn't worry meHe slept deeply, like

was better since I'd been raidingSomething to look forward to rather than endureI made Ian get the food and bring it to me while I hid in the field where half-grown sprouts of

didn't want Jamie frightened by this decisionIt would be harder for him than for Jared or
Ian?they each took one sideJamie loved us both
