Chapter 6
The courtyard of St. Catherine’s was empty when they
pulled to a stop in front of the rambling building. Must be
dinner time, Alex thought, letting the car idle as he watched
Jamie stare out the window. “Well,” he said, loath to see the day
end. He yanked up the parking brake and forced a smile that Jamie
didn’t turn around to see. “Here we are.”
“I hate this place,” Jamie whispered. “I don’t want to get
out.”
Alex sighed. “Jamie—”
Suddenly Jamie kicked open the door and jumped out of the car,
his anger returning. He slammed the door shut and began to storm
off, heading for the shelter. Twisting the keys from the ignition,
Alex climbed out of the car and hurried after him. “Jamie,
wait.”
Jamie stopped at the edge of the fence that hemmed in the
shelter’s property.
