‘We should not have told her so much. We should not have told her our name. It puts us at risk,’ Maverick grumbled. His displeasure at my actions was becoming a near constant companion these days.

It is not often that a person can pinpoint the exact moment they became a disappointment, can identify the exact decision that changed the course of their life and perhaps even fate itself.
