Rae freezes and turns. She crosses back to me. “What did you say?”
My heart starts beating again. I’m not sure when it stopped, except everything in me seems synced to her.
“When you first came here last year, we made a deal that included three favors,” I go on, threading my hands into her hair. “You gave me two.”
Her lips part. “Harrison…”
“Don’t,” I mutter, leaning in to press my lips to her hair as my fingers tangle in the strands. “Don’t walk out on me.”
She’s not going to, I realize as she lets me hold her.
But when she pulls back, it’s to brush her lips over mine, cool and fleeting. “I am doing you a favor, but you have to see that.”
Those are the last words before she disappears into the dark and I’m alone.
