Chapter 59

• —Lena—
• Killian walks down the path and knocks on the door of the fancy house. A man answers in his robe, taken aback by Killian standing on his porch. He talks, and I can’t make out a single word. The man holds his hand up almost like he’s refusing to hear something until they both stop, and the man closes the door. Killian continues to wait on the porch, turning around to smile back at me, almost like the smile is saying a thousand words I need to hear right now to ease the trepidation. The door opens again, and the man points to something out back.
• He closes the door again, and Killian comes running to where I stand.
