“She didn’t see Andrew, either. As far as she could tell, nobody was following her.
She almost wished for someone to attack. At least it would have been a distraction from what was waiting for her back at the asylum.
If that viper had been Jacek, she was as good as dead.
Deirdre felt even colder than usual, and it wasn’t just the rain. Her body felt like it was cooling at the core. She rubbed her upper arms to try to warm herself, but the friction did little for her temperature. She was getting hungry, too. Cold and hungry and afraid. A miserable combination.
What would happen if she ran away? She didn’t need to stay with Stark anymore. She had only joined him to help Rylie, but Rylie had failed on her part of the bargain. Brianna didn’t know what Deirdre was. The deal was over, and so was Deirdre’s obligation to return to the asylum.
But she knew with sickening certainty that it wouldn’t matter if she ran. Stark would surely hunt her down.
And she’d never get another hit of lethe from... him again.MoreLess
