While some lose track of time in the mountains, others bear the burden for them.

Shawn thought, ‘Fine. I’m used to it now!’

He smiled resignedly.

Alexei didn’t come out for a day, two days, or even three. Calls were hung up, or occasionally connected only to quickly fall silent.

Shawn took a deep breath, knowing he had to handle it himself.

Lucas, having just received a “thorough reception” was dragged out again. His face was pale.

Unwilling to accept it, Lucas sought to win her back, but only plunged himself into an
