Although there was no other place to go, the reluctance to live in the pack house was apparent, as it was as the abode of a devil.

"To answer your question, no, Sergio, I'm not okay." "What's bothering you?" The vulnerability in his eyes towards me was palpable. It was my chance to act. I couldn't afford to waste it.
