She stood where Jake left her, with her hurt leg bent so she wouldn’t put any pressure on it and her arms wrapped tightly around her body, as if they could erase the desperate chill that sunk into her soaking wet body. She felt strange, as if she wasn’t in her body, but hovering somewhere above and watching everything that was happening to her. The rain still pounded outside and the darkness was heavy, so everything around her was nothing more than shadows. Luckily, Jake had a box of matches in his pocket and he lit one to explore the overhang they’d sheltered in. She watched the tiny point of light as he raised it and lowered it around the stone walls until it fizzled and went out. Only a few seconds passed until he lit another one, and she was hypnotized by it until she blinked and realized Jake was standing right in front of her. “We’re alone,” he said. Cassie heard the words but her mind didn’t understand them. All she felt was the cold and the wet.
