Boy On a Black Horse
“I should have been sleeping in, but instead I was up at dawn, peeking into Chav’s bedroom—yes, he was there, lying in his bed. Then another door creaked, and Liana looked out of her room at me.
“Gray,” she whispered, beckoning to me.
I went in and we sat on her bed. “Are you okay?” she asked.
“Sure. Why wouldn’t I be?”
“Well, I told you to think things over for a few days, but last night I promised Baval—”
“You had to,” I told her.
“That’s what I thought. But now Chav—”
I said, “You had to tell Baval yes. You know I’ll be okay, but he needs help. So do Chavali and Chav.”
“You want them to stay?”
“Yes!” There was no doubt in me anymore. Every minute I didn’t have Chav in my sight now I was afraid he had run away. If he left, I would never be able to forget him. I would spend my life wondering what had become of him. “Of course I do.”
Lee smiled with relief, but her eyes got misty. “You are so much like your mother,” she said. “So bighearted and strong.”
