Run – Chapter 11
”Nothing about you is stupid and I love that you’re human. If ever I made you think otherwise, then I’m the stupid one.”
Lauren sighed. ”I don’t know…it’s a long ride, and I’m going to be busy.”
”You won’t even know I’m there,” Bo hoped her voice came across as sweet not desperate.
The silence that followed terrified Bo and now she doubted the wisdom of stowing away on Lauren’s bus. She watched Lauren rub her face with her hands, and she steeled herself for rejection.
”Suit yourself,” Lauren said finally, letting out a deep breath as she headed toward the front of the bus.
The terrain was rocky dirty, muddy, dusty, humid—all sorts of uncomfortable for Fae or human, and Bo resisted the urge to ask Are we there yet, even after they’d been driving for several hours without speaking. Lauren hadn’t told her where they were headed and Bo worried that anything she’d say might irritate the doctor. Bo sat quietly in the front passenger seat and admired the hues of the rain forest whizzing past, while sneaking long glances at Lauren’s profile, elegant and lovely, hoping that the chill between them would somehow thaw; and when Lauren finally said Bo’s name, her excitement boiled over. Perhaps this was the break she’d been waiting for. But Lauren was thirsty and only wanted Bo to fetch a bottle of water from the back of the bus. After saying thanks, Lauren’s attention went right back to the endless road in front of them.
By the sun’s position in the sky, Bo guessed the time at around noon when they finally stopped at the edge of a village. Lauren retrieved the two heavy bags and she sagged under their weight as she walked. Bo attempted to grab one but Lauren just tightened her grip around the shoulder straps.
”I can manage,” she said to Bo.
”I know you can, Lauren. Let me help anyway.”
If Lauren felt anything toward her – malice, love or anything in between – the doctor’s button-down demeanor concealed it from Bo’s searching eyes. Bo fumbled at every turn, charmless and awkward, succeeding only at creating more distance between herself and Lauren. At last, Lauren smiled, not at Bo (as she had been hoping) but at the slender young man approaching from one of the stilted huts.
