I smirked. “You know you are.”
Lunita looked up and scowled. “You are a dumb, nasty lion.”
But, you did not call me mean ole lion. I will take that as a win.
“I am not yours,” she said again, but there was no conviction behind her words.
My heart warmed. “Lunita. Lunita.”
She blushed and looked away.
Pavel coughed again. “We need to focus, Kazimir.”
I sighed, realizing again how dire the situation was. “Alright, Lunita. Come with us to see M.”
A somber expression covered her face. “Why?”
“I like having you near me.”
“You just don’t want me to sneak out.”
That too.
I placed my hands in my pockets. “Come with us, Lunita.”
“We are who we are.” Lunita huffed. “She has to understand that. You have to understand that.”
“And what if there is a solution?”
“Then, she will go, and I will go, and even. . .” Lunita pointed to the little girl. “She will go too.”
Sadness decorated the little girl’s face. “I don’t want to go.”
“We will all go.” Lunita began to twist the front of her dress with her hands. “There is no us, if there is healing.”
“I do not believe that.” I took one step forward. “I think that you will all still be there, but life may be different.”
“How?”
“I do not know.”
“Then, don’t change things.”
“Change is the law of life.”
She raised her eyebrows.
“It is an inevitable force. There is always change, Lunita.”
She went back to hugging herself. “I don’t like this. Her coming here. You coming here. That witch needs to die.”
“We are scared of fear because it is darkness.” I pulled my hands out of my pockets. “It is. . .the unknown. Even I am afraid of the unknown.”
“You should wake up, nasty lion.”
“After I meet M.”
“M is crazy. He is the scarecrow with all those pieces of cut paper in his head, but no logical thought to his mind.”
