She hoped the two little ones could be a bit stronger, live a bit longer. After raising them for so long, Evelyn Ford had grown deeply attached. They were like family now, impossible to part with.
Mina lay in her arms, wagging its tail, as Ronan Kendrick reached out and poked its head.
"Where did you find these two?"
"On Broken Cloud Mountain. You included. I found all three of you on Broken Cloud Mountain."
Ronan Kendrick's lips curved into a smile. He picked a peanut off the table and held it out to Mina, who gobbled it down without a second thought.
"So I'm the first person you found. And the last."
Evelyn Ford nodded. "Of course. If I thought I could win a fight against you, do you really think you'd still be alive?"
Ronan Kendrick had to agree. After all, Evelyn had wanted him dead when they first met.
"Evelyn, do you want to go back?"
"To Broken Cloud Mountain?"
Ronan Kendrick shook his head. "No, I mean Corinth. Your home."
