Chapter 54

• Deva lay there with her back facing the wall of the tent. She tried to leave enough space for Taggart if he came in, but this two-man tent was designed for two small sized men. Would he even be able to stretch out in it? She didn’t think so. She couldn’t because she’d piled everything by her feet, so there would be room for him.
• She didn’t know how long she’d been in here, but it felt like sleep wasn’t going to happen. As she was debating on going back out to watch, so he could rest, he unzipped the door. She squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath, then realized he’d hear if she wasn’t breathing. Did she fake sleeping? A second after that thought, she admitted it would be a juvenile thing to do.
• Keeping her eyes closed, she listened as he got out of the suit and his jacket. She heard him run his hand over the sleeping bag to find the way in, and then he got in it.
