Chapter 24 In the silence that followed Brandon's sudden departure Ezekiel avoided any engagement with his brothers. He felt something in his soul quivering. It was relief. Bone crushing, heart hammering relief. He was slowly coming down form the fear. He's not dead... He's okay... Ezekiel thought to himself...even if he didn't know why these simple sentences settled him so much. Or why he had been so desperate to see Brandon safe from harm. But just as Ezekiel couldn't leave Brandon to bleed to death the first night they had meet....He now seemed incapable of allowing any form or idea of danger to be visited upon him....without totally losing his s**t. Did he honestly want to analyze any of this? Did he really want to know what was at the heart of his behavior....? Wow... Lander
