““Briony, we can’t stay here. The dragon might be back.” Briony shook her head. “He won’t be back.” “We don’t know that,” Kevin said. “We do.” It was so obvious to Briony now. “He did what he came here to do. He kept us from going through after Aunt Sophie.” Shaking free of Jake’s grip, she went back to where the gate had stood. There was nothing to see there.
