The Luna Choosing Game
“Susie, I’m so sorry. This is all my fault. He’s only going after you to get to me…”
“I know that,” Susie said. She looked up at me, and though there was fear in her eyes, there was something like conviction too. “He doesn’t actually want me. I’m just a ploy. If he keeps his attention on me, then he might leave you alone.”
“I will not let you sacrifice yourself—”
“He won’t actually touch me,” Susie said. “It’s you he wants.”
She seemed certain of that but I was incredibly less so. Susie was shy, but she was beautiful and sweet. Terry might not want her long term, but I highly doubted he wouldn’t still try to claim – and ruin – her if the opportunity presented itself.
