down and admit defeat? To accept surrender?”
Cassia remembered that too. She remembered Adalynn
asking her something similar the night she’d gone to the hotel
to meet her.
But that was a long time ago. Cassia was sure it was. What
was she doing here now?
“Take care of myself,” Cassia muttered around her swollen
tongue.
Adalynn blinked long, dark lashes. “I know you can. I

didn’t give you a choice. It’s already done. That house I

to help out. To pay me back that way. I’ll pay you the same
rate the agency does per hour. I calculated it at a rough rate of
what I think you earn with the agency, and I figure a month
should do it.”
“A month?” Was she actually hearing Adalynn correctly? It

between awake and not really being awake, trapped in the
wreckage of her body, which was so very sore with a bone
