Lost Creek Hollow But you know you're gonna be okay

"Oh, um."  Maia stopped, looking at the ground.  "You know then."  Of course he knew, he always knew everything that was going on.  For a minute she didn't know what to say, and she just stayed quiet, feeling an overwhelming guilt that she would be going and he would be here.  He couldn't care that much, right?  She was just his dumb kid sister, it'd probably be better without her hangin around.

"You could probably come too?" Was what she finally blurted, feeling her face warm up as she did.  "You and me and Wraen.  Maybe we could even make a trip back, visit mom and dad, see our new brothers and sisters?  It'd be awesome."  Her voice got faster and less sure as she went, and she knew she was gonna cry before this was done.  She hated crying.
