“Like I’ve said before, I don’t really care about your past. I can only talk about the present. With the things I’m seeing at the moment,” the baldheaded man told Luke. I was still standing, surveying him.

If he was talking about a love story that’s going to unfold within Luke and me–mutual feelings–he was clearly mistaking. There is absolutely no way I could develop the devotedness I once had for Luke. I just don’t see that happening anymore.

“Look, sir, thanks for protecting us from those guys. I really appreciate that. But please, don’t start saying things that’s never going to happen.”

Luke nodded. “Yeah, I think it’s time we leave now.”

He turned around and examined me, not giving me a friendly expression. “A correction right here: I’ll be the only one leaving. She can stay here with you if she wants.”

Luke began to walk away, but Foster stopped him.

“Are you seriously leaving her here? All by herself?” Foster asked Luke.
