Chapter Sixty One
After that moment of delusional childishness, everything seemed to happen at super speed. It had been Luca who had pulled me bodily from the room. He had tried to speak to me, to get me to leave, but I had been lost to the mortal world. I didn't want to be there. I wanted to stay with Pops wherever he was going. Just like I had as a child. It didn't matter what awful boring, smelly or dirty place he was going to, I begged to be beside him. Nothing had changed. Poor Luca, for a moment, he must have thought I had willed such an outcome as I went limp in his arms. The blackness came over me and took me somewhere dark and safe. Away from reality, away from pain. When I had come to, I was surrounded by concerned faces. My only thought was to get back. To get to Pops and be there by his side.
