if you told me that you would be happiest if we never saw each other again , id let you go . he was remembering what dark had done to his cousins , and had to fight to keep both fear and anger under control . they stood still as carved stones , breathing and listening . had someone else taken her first ? fine , ill be quiet and think too . she still managed to get this job . as the night wore on , her body relaxed , and soon she was asleep .
