Chapter 27

"We didn't take the gears unto our flesh to only be a cog in a male's plan. Make your own destiny." - Today's Modern Female Siyborgh

I don't need to be saved. A mantra Ursy had huffed over and over since her rescue. Still repeated when she woke the next day.

She had to fight the stupid warmth that infused her every time she thought of Wulff coming to her aid.

I could have saved myself. Annoyed, Ursy spent the day in her room. She used the pretext of resting and enjoying the solitude. The truth ran more along the lines of she didn't want to see Wulff.

Ever since he'd left her on the beach, she'd been vacillating between the belief she'd done the right thing in pushing him away and the urge to chase him down and finish the kiss they started. Madness. She didn't want him.

What a lie. She craved him more than anything else in the universes. Even more than an epic gear.
