Chapter 20
“I think we’ll stay for a few days.” His words were mild, but final.
Eliza narrowed her eyes, looking for any clues on Ford’s face, realizing that she really didn’t know the man standing before her at all. She couldn’t guess why he’d want to stay in this godforsaken place, especially given the danger. Did he think she enjoyed being attacked in her own room? Didn’t he want to see her out of harm’s way?
Or was she just along for the ride? Welcome to warm his bed, but otherwise unimportant and incidental? Maybe she shouldn’t have trusted Ford. It seemed the only person she could trust these days was herself.
