Because her apartment is in Briar Cove.
My cabin isn't.
Jillie turns.
Completely unconcerned.
"Does that mean we're trapped?"
"No."
Unfortunately.
"Then what does it mean?"
I look at Sadie.
Sadie looks at me.
We both know exactly what it means.
"No."
She says it instantly.
I haven't even spoken yet.
"No?"
"No."
"Sadie—"
"No."
"You're saying no before hearing the suggestion."
"Because I know the suggestion."
Jillie looks delighted.
That should concern all of us.
"What suggestion?"
Nobody answers.
Which only makes her more interested.
I rub the back of my neck.
"My cabin is twenty minutes away."
Sadie closes her eyes.
There it is.
The suggestion.
