"Are you sure there is nothing I can get you?" Dane asks softly as he sticks his head around the bathroom door.

I glare at him as my stomach churns and he silently retreats. Apparently I can watch someone have their foot hacked off, I can take part in skinning them alive and rip out their heart without a single desire to throw up and yet the smell of chicken has me rejecting the tiniest amount of food I had managed to eat.

*Just tell her I'm going to speak to Damien." He replies as Mallory scoots in around the door.
