Chapter 18Theo
I wasn’t sure why I was suddenly so afraid. Before, I’d have gone to Ruth to talk it out, and she would’ve given me her wisdom. I couldn’t even talk to Hudson, because he was technically working for the rescue and for Lake, too, which meant I could easily cross the boundary between what he could and couldn’t talk about.
Of course, there was Seb, but we’d never been that close, and I didn’t want to take that step with something like this. That basically left Jules, who I adored but who could be a bit of a clown because of their own issues, and Sierra.
I hadn’t known how to express myself in a constructive way while we worked with Izzy and the twins, so I’d stayed mute. Ruth had always said it was my defense mechanism, I’d keep quiet so I wouldn’t say the wrong thing.
