Tarquin didn't say a word, but that didn't mean he didn't notice.

Evan missed White-a lot.

White stuck out his little tongue, stared at Evan for a moment, then hopped down

from his hand and scurried into the tent.

He made a beeline for Evan, nuzzled his tiny head against Evan's cheek, and

curled up right beside him.

"Back again? Planning to leave me again?" Evan's voice came out of nowhere,

making White jump a foot in the air.

He bolted like a startled squirrel, only to see Evan's eyes open and— yep, there

was that tongue again.

Evan's eyes were red, rimmed with tears.

"I thought you'd gone off with them and weren't coming back," he said quietly.

He'd known White was sneaking out at night. He'd watched him these past few

days, pretending not to notice, but how could he not see? Those strange

creatures had been lurking around, obviously trying to take White away.

White slunk over and ducked his head.

Evan, blinking back tears, stuck out his fist for a bump.

"Look, I don't want you to go, but if you've got some secret reason, just say it. I'm

not unreasonable. Worst case, I'll come visit you every now and then."
