Chapter 64
- The tears mist my eyes, my throat swelling so I almost can’t breathe as ache hits me low in the gut and threatens to make me crumble. I push the note back inside quickly, trying to combat it and flick through the cash, mentally counting almost two hundred dollars, and it breaks the wall holding in tears. I slump down onto the floor like a disheveled sack and cry, holding it close to my chest and breaking down. It’s not just for this. It’s for everything.
- Why did I find my pack now, at a time when I thought I had no other option? Why would the Fates give me something closer to a real home, only to make it unreachable by the tiniest stretch?
- I have to pull myself together and stop being weak. None of it matters, and it doesn’t change things. I have to get my crap together and stick to what I decided. I have to stay strong and determined. I can’t break because I won’t be able to put myself back together if I do.
