Chapter 49

• An hour later she added a new notebook and a few pens to the duffle bag and then looked around the room. She was feeling so many things right now, all she could do was stand there. She was nervous, doing this. She hadn’t left the city in seven years. Excited from the anticipation of doing it mixed in with the paranoia and guilt—if anything happened, the last two journals weren’t here for the next keeper.
