Because her apartment is in Briar Cove.

My cabin isn't.

Jillie turns.

Completely unconcerned.

"Does that mean we're trapped?"

"No."

Unfortunately.

Sadie looks at me.

We both know exactly what it means.

"No."

She says it instantly.

I haven't even spoken yet.

"No?"

"No."

"Sadie—"

"No."

"You're saying no before hearing the suggestion."

"Because I know the suggestion."

Jillie looks delighted.

That should concern all of us.

"What suggestion?"

Nobody answers.

Which only makes her more interested.

I rub the back of my neck.

"My cabin is twenty minutes away."

Sadie closes her eyes.

There it is.

The suggestion.
