71

My head lolls, groaning as everyone leaves. Not that it was a big meeting just that it had gone on way longer than I had thought. Ugh... why'd I have to come too.

Apparently, Lily had to call them back for one matter or another. I didn't even bother listening. Lily can just tell me later, if it's important enough that is.

"They're gone." I tilt my head. "What now?"

Her voice is innocuous A tone that's just out of place. One that she saves for... other times. I chance a glance at her and she bites her lip.

"You mean the future?"

Lily nods.

I sigh.

"We'll finish setting up this territory, fortifying the block and the streets around it before expanding further."

"And why? We could stay by ourselves, grab... Angela... and be done with it. Live a happy life."

I glare at her. I don't have that answer, not right now. Maybe some day though... maybe some day.
