Novel & Cerita We Re Gonna Hold On

"But I'll be here." Lane picked up the box from the table and held it in his palm. Its edges were cool—unrelated to her body heat, unrelated to the lamp's warmth—like something waiting to be heated, still and patient. He held it without opening it, without setting it down. "Tomorrow. If my line doesn't spread further by tomorrow, I'll wait another day. If it spreads, I'll use it."

‌ “We’ll hol⁠d on tog⁠ether.” He exh‍aled⁠, a sound tha⁠t was half‌ re⁠lief and‌ h⁠alf surrender. And when his fin⁠gers slid down‌ to in⁠tertwine with mine, I k‍new — for the first time — t‍hat we‌ were b⁠oth‍ holding on for the same reason. ‍ ---

He shook the body, desperate, but there was no sign of life. Sean finally broke. He threw his head back and let out a hoarse, ragged cry, tears streaking down his face. “Zoe, I was wrong… Please, wake up…” The secretary stepped forward carefully, grief heavy on him too, but business still waited. He had to speak. “Mr. Conner, you have to let go. Mrs. Conner is gone.” Sean snapped his head up and glared at the secretary with bloodshot eyes. “Get out! She’s not dead! She’s faking it!”

“Quiet. She’s been content inside. Mañana, we go to the apartments.” Yeah, I wondered how that would go. Currently, there were too many other things at play for me to give Isabella too much thought. I turned and nodded toward the house. “Jano in there?” “Sí. Rei too. El Patrόn wants everyone to stay outside.” Horace looked at the growing crowd. “I don’t blame him. He said he’d talk to those of us gathered before we head over to the warehouse.” José lowered his voice. “The rumors aren’t true, o sí?”

“Lorne didn’t just recognize you. He called you the one who ran. But the way he said it—it was almost like he was expecting you.” Riley’s blood turned to ice. “You think I’m the real target,” she whispered. “I think you always were.” The room went silent again. Then Jaxon stood. “We move now.” Vin raised an eyebrow. “To where?” “To the last place they’d expect us to go,” Jaxon said. “We stop hiding. We find this second facility. We burn it down.” Riley looked up. “And how do we find it?” Vin tossed a USB onto the table. “Mara decrypted Lorne’s portable drive. It had half a dozen GPS pings. One of them? An old cold storage plant on the edge of town. Looks abandoned.”

I shouted a warning to Olin, Olin nodded and focused, maybe he was making a tactic. "Nay Aurelia, I just want to ask, why didn't I hear Nay Olin yelling at her Hold to activate it?" Kali asked me, that made me smile, she's really inquisitive, but that's even better because you know she really wants to learn. "Son, when you have mastered your Hold and you have done what is called the Ring of Hold, you have a relationship with each other of your Hold Being." I explained to Kali but it seems that there is a question still bothering her mind.

Intense discussions came from outside the door, and even the atmosphere turned heated. “That’s right. I was wondering why we couldn’t stop him yesterday. It’s because they’re already together!” “So, we were just props for their flirting?” “Ew! That’s disgusting!”

His arms tightened around me “We’ll go back Sunday,” he said, “as planned, finish the week, and when we go back we deal with whatever’s waiting, together.” “Promise?” “Promise.” The storm raged outside, inside we sat in the dark holding each other My phone was off, his was face down, for now the world could wait We had two more days Two more days of this bubble before it burst And I was going to hold onto every second Even if I knew what was waiting when we got back

I asked. Remy nodded. "Part of it. I have a surprise for us tomorrow. Right now, I'm going to go get us something to eat, and then we need to get more rest. We have a big day tomorrow." I watched him grab the keycard and leave. Knowing we were only miles away from the mountain that wrecked our lives should have scared me, but for some reason it didn't. ***
