The escape.” I see his lips twitch out of the corner of my eye, and we are quiet for a moment before I ask, “Is there a reason you dragged me down onto the dirt?” I look over at his shadowy profile as he stares at the branches above us. “To talk. To lie here in silence.” He shrugs lazily. “It doesn’t really matter.” I look away from him. “So, you just want someone to keep you company?” “Not someone. You.”
