“Galen!” Ashleigh shouted as he hit the ground with a heavy thud.
Galen let out an audible groan and didn’t get back up immediately. She wondered if he might have hit his head.
“Luna Ashleigh…?” an excited voice questioned.
Ashleigh looked up to see two men and a woman standing and staring back at her from just outside the doorway. They were smiling. She could see that they were more than happy to see her. But their smiles twitched slightly, and their wide eyes were red-rimmed with dark, heavy bags under them.
“Luna Ashleigh…” the first man repeated. “You’re really here… we found you…”
He stepped into the room. His smile turned into a laugh and a heavy sigh. He locked eyes with her, and Ashleigh couldn’t help but take a step back.
