Her eyes fluttered closed as he carried her, feeling weak, but safe in his arms.
Preston placed Jaiquill down in the shelter, putting a blanket over her.
She stirred slightly, then went still.
"Yeah...I know." Preston said quietly. "Could you do me a favor and tell Dara that I still love her?"
I will. And the voice was gone, leaving almost a vibration in the air around Preston. A transparent figure appeared next to Jaiquill's bed, it was Carter. He leaned and kissed Jaiquill's cheek gently, and was gone. Jaiquill's eyes opened, and she sat up.
Preston smiled sadly at Jaiquill. "You alright?"
"Yeah." She murmured. "I'm good." Her hand moved to her left forearm, her hand only brushed her bare skin. Her hand flew to her pocket. "Where is it...?" She whispered.
"This?" Preston held up the bracelet he'd found while looking for her.
Jaiquill took it, her fingertips lightly brushing his for a mere moment, but just a moment. She slipped it back on. "Y-yeah. Where'd you find it?"
"I found it on the ground while I was looking for you." Preston said.
