Chapter 74. It’s Too Late, Run!

Kade’s POV

Analise swayed back and forth in her chair, her hands tightly wrapped around her cup.

She smiled nervously when she saw me watching, and her trembling hand, that she hid away under the other, shook like a leaf when she lifted it to put her hair back.

“Not everything can be explained at once, but I’m trying—I’m trying to explain. It’s…it’s odd, you won’t understand—”

“Well no, not if you don’t give me a chance.” I snapped and leaned forward. Did I want to leave? Hell yeah, but she had answers that I needed, and seeing her falling apart like this after how much she’d helped me and Layla was difficult. If there was something I could do to help her, then I had to at least try.

“Layla’s choices affect us all, and the ones she’s made, the road she’s on, it doesn’t bode well for any of us.”
