Going back to town felt off to Rakesh, but after going another day without hearing a peep from Martin, he couldn’t stop himself from going back. He had promised Josie he would wait till sundown and stay out of sight as much as possible. His love had reluctantly agreed, but swore that if he didn’t return to her, she would “scorch the earth and salt it afterwards.”
‘I don’t know if she actually would do that.’ He thought to himself as he pulled up to Martin’s apartment. ‘But I’m not gonna try to find out either.’
