Eliza didn’t look back over her shoulder as she walked out into the night. I hadn’t expected her to, not after the conversation I’d overheard from my position on the porch.

“But, Eliza–”

“I’ll deal with Eliza,” I said sharply, not meaning the words to be so harsh. In truth, my blood was boiling and I was two seconds away from dragging Carmen into the Dark Forest by her hair and doing what I should have done years ago.
