Chapter 17: Locked In
Kyler recovered first.
He always did.
"Baby," he said, and held his hands up. "It's a play. You heard the end of it. Let me explain."
"I heard the middle," Desiree said. "I heard the part where I'm a Council seat."
Her voice was flat and high at the same time.
She walked toward us down the planks with her phone still hanging from her fingers.
She didn't look at him.
She looked at me.
"You did this," she said.

"You did this." Her mouth twisted. "You walked into that river like a martyr and now everybody in the valley looks at you like you're a saint. You've got his sad old women. You've got that ring." She jabbed a finger at my neck. "And you've still got him."
I looked at Kyler.
"I don't want him, Desiree. You can have him."
"I did have him!" she shouted, and the word went out over the water. "I had him in front of the whole pack!"
She touched her own neck, the plain red mark there, and took her hand away fast.
