?I wish you wouldn't make him angrier,? I mutteredBeing wrong is sort of a habit with himHe'll take longer than anyone else to
get over it, but that doesn't mean we should make allowances for him
?He frightens me,? I admitted in a whisper?I don't want him to have more reasons to hate
me
Ian and Jamie squeezed my hands at the same timeThey spoke simultaneously
?Don't be afraid,? Jamie said
?Jeb's made his opinion very clear,? Ian said
?What do you mean?? I asked Ian
?If Kyle can't accept Jeb's rules, then he's no longer welcome here?He's staying? so he'll just have to learn to deal
We didn't talk again through the long walkI was feeling guilty?it seemed to be a permanent
emotional state hereGuilt and fear and heartbreakWhy had I come?
Because you do belong here, oddly enough,Melanie whisperedShe was very aware of the
warmth of Ian's and Jamie's hands, wrapped around and twined with minehere else have you
ever had this?
Nowhere,I confessed, feeling only more depressedut it doesn't make me belong
We're a package deal, Wanda
As if I needed reminding
I was a little surprised to hear her so clearlyShe'd been quiet the last two days, waiting,
anxious, hoping to see Jared againOf course, I'd been similarly occupied
Maybe he's with Walt
