“Adara,” Juniper said after we had all gone upstairs and left Ramos alone in the cell in the basement. Adara looked at her with no emotion.
“I…I’m sorry, I didn’t know,” Juniper said in a small voice.
“I told you!” Adara shouted at her so fiercely that I went to stand next to her in case she went for Juniper. Juniper took a step back at the ferocity in Adara’s voice.
“I think it is best if you just left Juniper,” Shoran said to her while leading her out the door and closing it in her face.
Adara sat down on one of the chairs. “I’m sorry. I just…I don’t want anything to do with her,” Adara said, her soul exhausted at the ordeal we all just went through.
“Adara, you never have to apologize for feeling the way you do about her,” Malachi said, and then he surprised us all by hugging her.
