Chapter 18: Second
I trained on Monday until my nose bled.
I got the fur to my shoulders twice, light brown and thick.
Once my jaw cracked and ached.
Then the river came both times, and I was on my knees on my own rug, soaked in sweat.
On Tuesday I got it to my shoulders again, and no further.
Tuesday night Torrey didn't take his chair on the porch.
He came inside and stood in my kitchen with his hands in his pockets.
I knew what he was going to say before he said it.
"Take me," he said. "Tomorrow, in front of them, before the ring. It voids the challenge. You know it does."
"Torrey."
"I'm not asking for a wedding. Say yes in front of the pack, and I'll stand next to you, and we'll sort out the rest after." His voice cracked on the last word. "Just don't walk into that ring on two legs."
"I might not be on two legs."
"You might. You've got fur to your shoulders. Cleve's got four legs and a hundred pounds on you."
