Jericho doesn’t look happy—not at all.

His frown is long and tired; he looks like he’s been up chasing two ghosts all night.

“Liam, you know better than anyone we highly advise against nightly excursions. Especially on weekdays.” The counselor taps his finger on the table.

“We were in the bathroom. I don’t know what excursions you’re talking about.” Liam shrugs, that damning smirk playing on his lips.

Jericho narrows his eyes as they shift from me to Liam and back to me. “I don’t believe that for a second.”

Liam nudges me with his foot and I straighten in my chair and add: “We had the same fruit at dinner. It made us sick all night.” I wince as if my stomach is still hurting.

The counselor is silent as he considers us. Each minute is as painfully awkward as the last.

“Fine—you’re both lucky this is an expensive self-check-in facility.”

Liam crosses his arms, seeming a bit annoyed about all the fuss. “How’d you even know we weren’t in our room? It’s not like you check on us, and we aren’t on lockdown, so what’s the deal?”

My eyes widen—shit, the flip-flop I stuck in the door so I could go back in. I want to drop my head to the table but I remain sitting straight, biting my lower lip as I wait for Jericho to say it.

His green eyes flick over to me passively and he seems to catch onto my worry. “Just happened to see two people sneaking out and figured it was you. Your nightly outings aren’t uncommon, but that doesn’t mean you need to start dragging Miss Coldfox along with you.”

I silently exhale and thank Jericho with my eyes. He’s a good person. He probably already knows about the moonflower field and how patients sneak out to go there. I wonder how long he’s worked here… Maybe he knew them.

Those before us.
