Jake looked at me and, just for a second, I thought I saw a hint of a smile. He hid it well, though. He got to his feet and moved out of the room without answering the question. I followed him into the hallway.
“You’re glad they saved me right?”
Jake just shook his head and kept walking. He was glad. I was almost 100 percent sure of it.
Author’s Note
I want to thank everyone who took the time to read my debut novel. Like any author, I look back on this book and am filled with warm memories. I think I learned a lot from writing it, and hopefully I will get better as time goes on.
If you liked the book, please take a few minutes and leave a review. I understand that my characters aren’t for everyone. These are not bright and shiny people
