Chapter 38

Netra awakened very early the next morning, while it was still dark outside. She got out of bed as quietly as she could, then turned to see that Cara was awake, looking at her. Wordlessly she picked up her pack and the two of them walked to the front door. Outside, Cara threw her arms around her and gave her a long, hard hug.

“I love you,” Cara murmured, and at that Netra felt herself losing hold, starting to fall again and she had to bite her lip until it hurt before she again felt steady. She hugged her back then and a moment later pulled away.

“Tell the others goodbye for me, will you?” She felt like a deer caught out in the open. “Try to explain to them that I…I just couldn’t...”

Cara nodded, her hair silver in the fading moonlight. Netra turned and walked away. She did not look back but felt her friend’s eyes on her until after she was out of sight of the Haven.
