‘Thank you, Easton,’ he says. He smiles once more and then he and
Sandra disappear back into the crowd.
Instantly I turn to Elle. ‘What’s he been up to?’
‘Nothing,’ she says. She sounds disappointed. ‘He’s been the model
citizen. Running back and forth, proclaiming how proud he is of his children.
It’s quite sickening really.’
‘Who’s this?’ Yates looks shy as he directs the question at us. I’m
determined not to treat him like he’s incapable of handling anything as well as
anyone else. He’s our friend, we stick by each other and don’t leave each other
behind. This is a simple fact.
‘Teague,’ I reply.
