Lost (5 page)
“That's good. I need that, but...” She rose on her toes and balled her fists into his shirt to pull him closer. “You'll find me again later too. Just me, for me. You'll do that.”
Find her, for her. She didn't want to run from him. She wanted to know him— outside of here, in the world where he had never really belonged.
He took in the uncertainty in her eyes and the tiny worry lines that seemed to have formed in the few hours since they had met.
He had never wanted anything more.
“Yes. I will find my brother, and I'll find your friend, and then I will find you... for you.”
She smiled, a sad twist of her lips, but still a smile. “Then somehow everything's going to be okay.”
And as he led her up the hill and watched her step into the sunshine where he couldn't go, he knew she was right. Somehow everything would be okay.
