That night, Cassius brought another tray of food for Loretta and ate some of it while she watched.
"Are you sure you don't want some?" He taunted her, seeing her mouth water in temptation. "It's alright, you can have some."
She turned away. "Never."
He was annoyed. "Enough already! If Delaney were to come to your rescue, why isn't she here yet?"
She bit her dry bottom lip to stop herself from answering. She was wondering that too. It wasn't like Delaney to let her people continue to suffer if she had any way to stop it. Maybe Delaney didn't know where she was? She wondered. But again, Darius had been here before. She had heard him and it didn't make sense for him to leave without her either.
Although she didn't say a word, Cassius saw the doubt on her face and used it to his advantage.
