Excerpt
Alessa could see the flash of doubt in his eyes, but
only for a moment before he set his jaw.
“Listen, he needs to learn sometime.
I can’t hold him off anymore – he wants a part in this, and I can’t
protect him forever.”
Alessa’s head thrummed with apprehension – she had a
very bad feeling about this – but she knew she couldn’t change his mind. She stepped forward and grabbed hold of his shovel,
locking her eyes with his. “Just be
careful.”
He smiled brightly, suddenly cocksure. “You know I’ve got this. Don’t even worry about it.”
His grin was meant to be reassuring, but Alessa knew
better. If there was one thing she’d
learned here, it was that nothing was ever as it seemed – and there were no
sure bets.
“Be careful,” she reiterated, the undercurrent of fear
sharpening her voice.
“I’ll see you tonight,” he replied, intrepid as
ever. “Bring your appetite.”
