CHAPTER 129 See You Later

  'If Cazz is really opening up… this might be the time to tell him what you were fleeing at home. He might be more understanding than you think,' Rake sent carefully.

  I sighed, nodding. 'I know about his dad. At least, some,' I sent sadly.

  Rake blinked. 'He told you?'

  'He had a dream and… since we linked I only saw a couple flickers. I still don't know the story, he didn't want to talk about it. But I understand a bit better now.'

  'Good. That's really good, Jess. He's opening up.'

  'Yes, but for how long?' I grumbled and tried to push away the tension twisting in my chest.

  I hadn't realized how much I relied on Rake, how much reassurance it gave me knowing he was always around. How much stronger I felt with him there. And now I was facing days, perhaps some of the most uncertain with Cazz, without him? But then I remembered that barren canyon of pain in Cazz and why God had brought me here.

  I sighed. Then cleared my throat.
