"And that old man you call a grandfather—when he gets here, I'll send your whole family down there to reunite." I struggled weakly, but it was useless.

The air around me thickened, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. “She’s been hunting for weeks,” the Bear went on. “Her squad moves under the Cross insignia. They don’t kill the weak anymore, they make them disappear. No one knows where they go.” I swallowed hard. “She’s not killing them,” I said quietly. All heads turned toward me.

“I sure am! One night stands are the perfect ways to fuck someone out of your system.” “Where'd you learn that?” “Doesn't matter,” she answered dismissively. “All that matters is you miss the dickhead, which we don't want.

"There are two dozen steps from here to the cellar, how do you think you're going to manage to hobble down there and back up?"

I was about to protest but Callie kept on. "Don't lie to me, Bea. I can read you like a book. Heal first. Cellar later."
