A moment of silence passes between us, but eventually she shakes her head. She steps back, but the stunned look on her pretty face lingers. I give her one last smile before I turn and run, knowing I can't drag her with me. Part of me wishes I could have done more for her because she looked so lost and alone, but I can't force her and I have to get out of here.
I also wish I could have found out something bigger about Gordon. It would have taken days to pore over the things he had in his office. I knew time wasn't on my side, and without my reading glasses it made things even harder. How did Gordon River have a daughter? From what I found he'd been around a very long time, meaning only one thing. He's a vampire.
I try to process all of it but then push it aside knowing that Ezra and Erik will help me work through it. Instead I try to concentrate on what Loren told me as I navigate through the woods.
