“ I hated the quiet. I could hear my fears that much louder for it. ”
You know, I never believed in fate until I met you... then I started thinking coincidence didn't have near so cruel a sense of humor
~ Alwyn Hamilton
We were going to get Ahmed back. And Rahim back. And Shazad. And Delila. And all the others who had been captured. And we were going to end this.
I seemed to still be alive. Which was unexpected. I'd feel good about it when I stopped retching my insides up.
It was a bad idea to play chicken with someone who'd known you your whole life. Nobody came out a winner.
