Chapter 55 Help You Escape

• It's hard to properly articulate my words with all the emotions beating hard inside me.
• Hiding my face in her hair was me, taking the cowardly way out. It was keeping me from looking at her face. From getting lost in her eyes. From letting her see how shaken up and flustered I was.
• She's never really seen this side of me — the scared me. And this wasn't the right place or time to show it. She's already been through so much hell; telling her that I'm just as scared as she was would break her.
