章 714: Chapter 64 : Sober

Ashley cleaned up dinner and Payne went off for a quick patrol.

I stared off down the border, looking at the miles of desert sand against green forest. This seemed like an impossible task.

I sighed heavily and dropped my head into my hands.

Soren sat down beside me.

Slowly, I lifted my eyes and looked into his face.

“Soren, I don’t know what to do here,” I said, motioning to the border.

“Are you asking me for help?” he asked, arching an eyebrow.

“Yeah. I am. You saw the map more than I did. What do you think my mother was trying to tell us?”

Soren sighed and ran a hand down his face. He looked at me seriously. “Mila, I think your mother had a plan for us, starting here.”

“What do you mean?” I asked, creasing my brow.

“I think she wanted us to settle down here,” he said, nodding slowly.

“Settle down? Here? Together?” I asked incredulously.
