“How long until your train is powered up?”
I knew he was preparing on his bracelet.
“One minute remaining. And I’ve sent a message to all the guys. They’ll be on their way too.”
“How many golems this time?”
His lips pinched. “More than yesterday.”
I stood to my full height. “I’m going with you.”
Finn snorted. “No.”
“It’s Poppy. She came tomyrescue. It’s my turn to help her, and if she’s frightened, I may be able to calm her down. You said she faints every time with the golems. Maybe she just needs a woman to help her.”
His severe blue gaze jarred my own. “You’re serious? You believe you can help her?”
“I want to try. Like I said, she came to my rescue.”
Finn considered me for a moment. “You’ll stay in the train until I tell you otherwise.”
I nodded and bent to put on my heels. “I’m not arguing. I’ll do as you say. If it’s too dangerous, I understand.”
I followed him as he started walking. “I thought the master-man was supposed to be unconscious for a while.”
Finn jerked open his front door, the dawn cascading on his waiting train out front. “So did we.”
