“You can’t leave, because the sixty-one hours we suffered without you were torture. Pure, unrelenting torture. That’s how long it was, Siren. Sixty-one hours. I counted each and every one of them. It was all I could do—all I could control. I didn’t eat. I didn’t sleep. I searched and I counted. That’s it. For sixty-one hours, I didn’t stop looking for you.”
