Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Yvette asked. “Want some?”

Frankie nodded enthusiastically, and Bruce let out an awkward chuckle..

Emmett thought. Dignity? What’s that? Not important, as long as I can get some food

Chris lowered his head and took a bite of the compressed biscuits. 1le thought it tasted good. He’d eaten bugs on military campaigns before; compressed biscuits were good enough. Everso, he kept staring at the steak sandwich Yvette was holding, he involuntarily swallowed.

Chris was getting anxious too. “Let’s go, we’ve waited enough, let’s go find Yvette.”

Emmett’s expression darkened as he took in the restless group, and he said in a comforting tone, “Let’s wait a little longer. Yvette’s reliable. None of us could match her, and don’t forget that she survived alone in the rainforest at the age of twelve for three months. If she told us to wait, then we wait”
