For a moment, she considered giving up and going back, but the idea of seeing Mason again so soon made her hurt and anger reignite. She couldn't face him again. Not yet.
"Could they be on the side of the mountain above us?" Ilona whispered her question, feeling her heart beating hard in her chest at the thought.
