Gideon’s POV

The rain was coming down hard enough now that I could barely see ten feet ahead of me without the flashlight.

Sebastian was keeping pace just beside me without saying anything. We moved north, toward the creek bed I’d mentioned to Avery. I kept my flashlight low and my eyes on the ground.

There were no signs of Bjorn.

“How long have you known her?” I suddenly asked. I cringed a little the moment the words came out of my mouth, but I needed more information on their so-called “relationship”, and now was as good a time as any. It wasn’t often that I got to be alone with Sebastian, so I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

“Long enough.”

I waited to see if he would say more, but he didn’t.
