And when I finally let my guard down, tears fall again, this time turning into full-body sobs.
I curl into a ball on the tile and bite my fist to quiet my cries.
I don’t know who else is staying in theInn—and the last thing I want is the Alpha or receptionist to hear me.
When I’m finally done crying, I sit under the spray and take deep, cleansing breaths.
But questions race through my mind, and I can’t stop the worry that plagues me.
