Chapter 27

When I came around, my head was buried in Jason's chest. The car was no longer moving.

"It's okay" Jason whispered into my ear.

"What happened?" He whispered again.

"She didn't come back for me. I told her and she didn't come back, she promised me" I sobbed into his chest.

He had removed his suit jacket and was only in his white shirt.

"Did you find out what happened to her?"

"No, she just never came back for me. I waited for four days in that cold shack and she never came back, she promised"

"It's okay" he stroked my arm comfortingly.

I moved away from him and cleaned my eyes with my arm.

Pérez passed me a handkerchief and I collected it gratefully.

"You okay?"

"I don't know. I feel trapped, it's the same cycle, nothing works, not even therapy"

"If you live with me after Kelly's leaves, I'll teach you how to deal with it"

Pérez looked at Jason with wide eyes.
