Li Dai Lu looked at me and smiled a bright smile. "Yeah, my whole idea when I was reborn this time around was to be alone somewhere and pig out on sweets. Now that you are safe and sound, I can go do just that. Plus, it saves a whole lot of random people dying just because they pissed me off."
Okay, so I don't think that I was awake enough to be able to process that whole conversation.
"Reborn this time around?" I asked. Was that something we admitted to? Being reborn? From the book at that I had read as a kid, it seemed like the main characters did everything but admit to it. And now we are just throwing it out there?
"Yeah, it's my third life, and I really think that this one is going to be the charm. Get it? Because third time's a charm?"
I nodded my head like I knew what she was talking about, but I didn't want to admit that it was like sinking into quicksand and having no way to get out. You knew you were dying in slow motion, but you were completely unable to stop it.
