Chapter 219

• I woke up the next morning feeling like a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders. We were alive. I geared up for my usual morning jog and found James and Malachi in the kitchen, ready to jog with me.
• We jogged down the dirt road, down Lowell Canyon Drive and past the hotel. We turned left and jogged into town where I stopped at the coffee shop I normally stopped at. I was so used to jogging alone that my mind was wandering and I kept thinking about the previous night.
• “Kiran …” Malachi’s voice held a warning tone and my face turned red from embarrassment.
