Moana

By the end of the weekend, I was dying to get back to work. Since we decided not to leave the penthouse after all, I decided that it wouldn’t hurt any to return to teaching. Besides, Ella needed to go back to school as well, and since she didn’t remember the events of the night that we were kidnapped she was only getting more aggravated by the day.

I watched as he pulled two surgical masks out of his pocket, then held one out to me along with my wide-brimmed sun hat. “Here. To protect your identity during the walk. We’ll go
