Chapter 25 Quotes

I looked down at Sunny, the clomp of approaching footsteps echoing in my head. She was gazing up at me again—no judgment, no fear, just wide-open eyes. We both turned toward the vehicles. The high beams on the vans were too bright. Neither of us raised a hand to shield our eyes. We just squinted in the glare. I squeezed her hand harder; this time it was her who comforted me, because we were there together, and it was too late to run.
