I guess it’s just gonna take a while for him to trust us fully. I was nodding in response to his question when it hit me, “Where’s Jessie?” She hadn’t come out with him and we left Nate inside. I glanced at Kraig and found him leaning around Nick to look inside. He nodded at me and I relaxed a tiny bit, knowing Nate was still in the kitchen where we left him. “I’m guessing you boys aren’t very happy with your old friend?” Nick said quietly and I snorted a little as Kraig
