Chapter 127

Cutter

“Why are you so happy today?”

Tucker’s voice is full of annoyance when he hears me whistling. We’re taking a drive through Paradise Lost, looking to see if there are any more places that need to be cleared. If all goes well, the LSERT will be packing up and moving out this weekend. I’m not sure how I feel about leaving Rowan, but I can’t deny I’m happy today.

More relaxed than I’ve been in what feels like years. “Just happy. What’s it to you? Don’t come raining on my happiness parade.”

“Sorry,” he sighs. “I miss the hell out of Karsyn. By this time they should have relieved us, but since we’re coming home this weekend, we’re staying longer than normal. It’s not something I really planned on.”
