Chapter 36

• “Where are you going?”
• Dashtan looked at Rakia, who was passing through the living room wearing black jeans with torn accents on her thighs and a long-sleeved shirt that looked oversized in blue jeans. Rakia rolled up the sleeves of her elbow-length shirt in a rather large roll. She had her hair in a ponytail, but a few strands fell to the side of her face. In Dashtan’s eyes, Rakia looked like fresh meat that provoked the beast inside him to feast on it.
• “I’m going to meet Lizzy, I’ll be home before dinner,” Rakia said, then continued her steps after turning away from Dashtan.
