Capítulo 56: Chapter 56: Roxy

I sat on the bed after he left, trying to get my thoughts together. I realize that I’ve been doing that a lot since coming here, in fact since the night Jason invaded my space. I wonder why these people are going this far? I had tunnel vision coming here. My only interest had been in getting to Cierra, but I hadn’t given much thought to what comes next.

I needed to see her with my own eyes, the woman I’d held in some sort of esteem since learning of her existence. I got up and went into the shower that was attached to the room. This place defies reason. I’d spent the last five years sleeping and living rough; now, here I am quite literally in the lap of luxury. Too bad it doesn’t feel any different here than it had in that abandoned shell of a building. I can’t relax enough to enjoy anything the place has to offer.
