Bradley looked around the campfire. “Someone Google how much the Wilcox robbery was.”
“Google?” Nicole said. “With what? This rock and a fork?”120 - valeriyatretyak5 июня 2022 г.
“I did everything I could to forget you,” she continued, and when he glanced at her, he saw that her eyes were closed. “I made myself into a different person. I drank or slept around or worked endless hours. It didn’t matter.”
Leo had to count his breaths. He was all tightness and longing; there was no space for words. Finally, he was able to tell her: “Missing you was physically debilitating.”118 - valeriyatretyak5 июня 2022 г.
What about you?” she asked him. “What do you want?”
When he smiled, he was sure she had no idea what was supposed to be funny—but his answer was almost the direct opposite of hers. “I want my life turned upside down.”
She turned to look at him again. “What’s that mean?”
“I’m in if you are.”
Lily’s hazel eyes took on a golden glimmer in the rising sun. “Yeah?”
“Yeah.” I might follow you anywhere, he thought.118 - valeriyatretyak5 июня 2022 г.Читать далее
She’d used the word town generously.
“This is it?” Leo asked when they finally came to a stop at the vague beginnings of a dirt road. It was nothing more than two dusty walkways set parallel to each other and a few small, rickety buildings.

Even a decade ago, she’d never needed Leo for a thing, but he wanted her to want him anyway.

“They’re shooting at us!” Nicole screeched.
Leo reached for Lily, protectively cupping her head with his arms and pulling her into his chest. “They actually brought a gun?”
“I’ve got Terry’s bag!” Walter yelled above the chaos. He pulled the handgun out, waving it. “Guys! Want me to shoot back?”
“NO!” everyone shouted in unison116 - valeriyatretyak5 июня 2022 г.
“Wait!” Walter called. With a dust-caked hand, he reached up, shoving his dark curls off his forehead. “I just wanted to say to Miss Nicole and Lily, this has been one of the best trips we’ve ever, ever done.” He looked at Bradley and Leo. “Right, guys?”
“Except for the death,” Leo agreed, “it’s been great.”116
