“Call Richard in the morning. I’ll get the emergency phone, and you can call him and tell him what’s happening.”
“Oh my God… thank you.” I hug him hard.
“Cora… you know that calling him opens the door. It will reveal where we are. Then we’ll have to run again if trouble comes.”
“I trust him, Alex. He’ll make sure the right thing gets done. If that happens, we’ll be okay.”
He nods. “That’s what we’ll do, then. Make the call, and we’ll stay here where it’s safe. You stay with me no matter what.”
“I’m staying with you,” I promise, and he plants a kiss on my forehead. Relief washes over me. “Thank you. Thanks so much. I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I allowed something bad to happen.”
“I know, doll. I couldn’t either.”
