"This will all be over soon," Perry promised her. "Then we will not have to worry about it ever again."
"The police really won't be after you?" Noelle asked hesitantly.
"No."
How could they be? He could not be prosecuted for hijacking a body as long as no one knew about it. Hunter and Larry had already been sworn to secrecy.
"How do you know?"
"What I stole is not what you would call traceable. They cannot come after me if they do not know about it."
Noelle looked up at him with furrowed brows. "Why can't you give it back? Is it really that important to you?"
Was it that important to him? It was the most important thing in the world! Nothing that mattered to him was attainable without his humanity. He needed this body to be Noelle's boyfriend and Larry's son.
"Yes. Please do not ask me anymore."
