Cassian POV
I hate to admit it. I really f*****g hate to admit it. But Milo is kind of impressive.
The nurses at the makeshift hospital took me aside after they had gotten Annie to a doctor. I guess they thought I must have helped with her delivery, and they told me whatever I did had probably saved her life.
Of course, I didn’t do anything but stand there. It was Milo who did it. I know it was.
We were close to the edge of town, and they wanted to go out and camp in the woods for the night.
“Should we really be stopping?” I ask.
“It’s dark,” Milo says.
“Paul’s will be open all night,” I say. “We can keep going.”
Lyra shakes her head.
“We need time to rest, Cassian,” she says.
I’m majorly conflicted. Part of me wants to give Lyra everything she wants, so I agreed. What is happen
