Chapter 119

“I don’t think Kevin understands. I told him not to tell anyone.”

“We should go down to him,” Ash said.

Dayna nodded, still uneasy and embarrassed, but she couldn’t leave Kevin alone like that. When she reached the ground, he flung his arms around her.

“I didn’t mean it! Please don’t run away from me again,” he said.

“I won’t; everything’s okay.”

“When we go to sleep, you won’t sneak out in the middle of the night?”

“No. I would never do that.” Fresh tears poured down her face.

“Are you mad at me?”

Dayna shook her head. “You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s all Tom and Jean. I could never leave you.”

“I won’t talk about it anymore.”

She sighed. “If you want to talk about it to Ash or me you can. I just don’t want anyone else to know.”

“Okay.”
