Chapter 95: The Hut

“I hate that she’s here,” Hayden confessed, and I gave him a questioning look. “I hate that she has to put herself in danger at all and be a part of this.”

“You’re talking about Eleonore,” I stated and he nodded as he ran his hands through his hair.

“I just hate how she’s in danger every second he’s still out there.”
