Lauren leaned against the side of the bungalow and closed her eyes. ”Stay or run,” she said to herself, ”stay or run?”
In the days following, Bo saw Lauren in the evenings and only then, briefly. It seemed to her that Lauren tolerated her much like a long lost relative who showed up uninvited for an extended stay, and to whom Lauren owed only the most basic courtesies such as Hello or Good Evening. Bo wanted to talk, to clear the air, but Lauren left every morning before sunrise, made a fleeting appearance over dinner, and then excused herself to bed. Even Kenzi found that Lauren’s pre-dawn departures were ludicrous and stopped going. Without Lauren there, Bo spent her time sulking and watching Kenzi and Tamsin reconnect. They’d go on walkabouts, not inviting anyone else to go with them, and Bo tried not to take any of it personally since neither Bruce nor Dyson were included either. The feeling of jealousy persisted, especially after Tamsin and Kenzi stumbled upon a beer garden that may or may not have been Fae owned and operated. Bruce and Dyson got in on that action and the foursome never looked back. Somehow, this new quartet managed to achieve the happy reunion that Bo longed for—and failed miserably at getting—with Kenzi and Lauren. The longer it went on, the more that self-doubt crippled her.
One night after dinner, Tamsin pulled Bo aside. ”I know things aren’t going great, Bo. But I’m telling you, you’ve got to get your shit together.”
”You think I’m not trying?”
Tamsin shook her head, her face stern yet clear-eyed. ”I’m not one to tell anyone how much to stick their neck out, Bo. However, I’ve been talking to Kenzi and the next supply plane is coming in two days. It won’t be back again for months.
”So if there’s something unsaid that needs to be said, you better get to it,” the Valkyrie squeezed Bo’s elbow.
”You’re leaving. You want to leave.” Bo yanked herself from Tamsin’s grasp.
”It’s time, Bo. And you need to come with us.”
”I leave when I want.” Bo crossed her arms, scowling.
”Are you really that thick? You’re a descendant of the Blood King. It’s your des—”
”Don’t say it.” Bo held up her palms. ”Destiny is why I lost my sister and the only real love I’ve ever had.”
