Still speaking quietly through the phone, Holden continued. “I am very sorry that I didn’t tell you about Dr. Bradley, but I didn’t want to ramp up your anxiety any higher than it already is, and needlessly to boot, since I’m very confident that what happened to Dr. Bradley was just some sort of a fluke. It won’t happen to you, once it’s safe enough for me to bring you back here.”

“That’s exactly what Cora just got done telling me, but—”

“Cora is right.”

“But the two of you don’t know that what happened to Dr. Bradley was just a fluke, Holden. You don’t know that. So, how can you possibly even think about taking me back to New York when there’s even the slightest chance of the same thing happening to me?”

“Because I think there’s a much greater chance of something very bad happening to you if you stay here on the island. Taking you back to New York is a calculated risk, and a risk that I didn’t calculate lightly.”

Mulling over his logic, I didn’t respond, and he continued.

“Do you think that I want to send you away? Do you think this is easy for me? I haven’t been lying when I’ve said that I already care about you deeply. And I’m torn between wanting to keep you with me and wanting to make sure, without a doubt, that you’ll never be hurt by the Forms.”

“Well, if you’re torn, then maybe you’ll still consider letting me stay.”

“No. As I’ve said so many times that I’m beginning to feel like a broken record, I’ve made my decision. You’re going to back to New York until all the Forms are dead.”

“But—”

“Despite the fact that you were attacked by two of them not too awfully long ago, I just don’t think you have the proper level of fear in regards to these Forms, Haley. They’re getting even stronger, more bloodthirsty. To be completely frank, my men and I aren’t exactly weaklings, yet we’re beginning to have a hell of a time holding them back. While we try to kill them one-by-one, we’re going to try our very, very best to make sure that they never reach the village, but there’s no guarantee than one or two of them won’t be able to get past us at some point. And when and if that happens, I want you gone, and you will be. I should probably also add that there are many in the village who probably wish they could trade places with you. There are many in the village who probably wish they could ride it out in New York until all the danger here has passed.”

Suddenly a bit misty-eyed again, I blinked back a tear or two. “Well, I still can’t say I feel very lucky that you’re sending me away.”

There was a long pause, and I thought I heard the faintest hint of a sigh before Holden spoke again.

“I want to enjoy this last week we have together for a while, Haley.
