Evaline:
I tried... honestly tried... not to use every single curse word I had ever known in all nineteen years of my life as I stepped out of the bathroom. Steam rolled out behind me like a dramatic exit, but sadly, the hot bath had failed me. My muscles still felt like they had been run over by a truck… twice… and then stomped on by River for good measure.
He was in a bad mood today, and everyone at training paid the consequences.
Including me.
To be fair, I understood why he was frustrated. Questioning Marcus kept going nowhere. Every time the healers checked on him, Marcus was either still unconscious or waking only to drift off again. And the few minutes they had managed to question him earlier? Useless.
Still, understanding River did NOT make my body hurt any less.
