I knew it.” He sighs and there’s so much love and sadness in it. I know he’s about to say the truth. “But I’m a danger to you in New World.” He gestures at the bush we’re hiding in, hiding in like thieves. “Yer gonna have to make it the rest of the way alone.”
“I ain’t alone,” I say without thinking.
He smiles, but it’s still sad. “No,” he says. “No, you’re not, are ya?”
