FORBIDDEN AFFAIR WITH THE BIKER I CAN'T HAVE
“We swear. On our freedom. On our lives. On whatever matters most. We swear that we’re in this together until the end.”
We put our hands together in the center of our circle.
“I swear,” I said.
“I swear,” Sophie echoed.
“I swear,” from Mei.
“I swear,” Lily whispered.
Caroline was last. “I swear.”
We sat there for a moment, hands together, five prisoners planning an impossible escape.
“We should go back to our rooms,” Mei said. “Before someone notices we’re all missing.”
We separated quietly, each returning to our own rooms.
I lay in bed, my mind racing, and tried to believe this was possible.
