“Please,” she snapped, nearly screamed. She leaned closer to him—this fountain of knowledge, of beauty, of everything she had tried not to taint or hurt before this moment. Ambition grew within her, and it felt good—powerful. “Please, don’t leave such a burden on me. If there is even the slightest chance that I could provide any kind of assistance for this cause, I want to at least try. If I don’t, I’ll always wonder if I let you down—if I could have saved you from your pain.” She widened her eyes a little, forcing them to water. “Reed, please…”

She could hear Reed breathe heavily as he blinked at her, his lips quivering. She was about to plead with him some more when he hesitantly nodded his head.

“Okay,” he whispered, smiling tightly. “Okay.”

Andrea nearly squealed for joy. It took all of her willpower to remain seated where she was—to not go running upstairs to get ready.

“Thank you,” she choked out, grinning. “God, thank you so much, Reed.”

He nodded again. “I can’t deny you anything, Andrea Watson. And if anyone could save us from ourselves, I believe it is you.”

Her stomach dropped, her ambition recoiling at such a warm and faith-filled statement. The tears that stung her eyes were genuine in that moment, and it made it all the more sickening to her.

Later, she convinced him to leave with her that night—to take a plane to the country of Colombia, where Fernando was currently residing while he did his private research.

“You sure about this?” Reed asked her.

She sat on his bed with her suitcase resting beside her. Reed was in the process of packing his own bag—moving from his walk-in closet, to the bathroom, to his bag, and then back to the closet.

He had no idea what the question truly meant to her. It rang in Andrea’s head several times, the feeling of the words more accusatory than they truly were.
