Toni glared. “For how long should I have waited? I had no idea you were even coming back.”
In the light of the newly built fire, his eyes widened. “I told you I was coming back. Didn’t you believe me?”
No. Peering around, she was curious to learn more about their hiding place. Now that she could see she found the cave smaller than she’d thought. Shadows danced over uneven walls, naked roots poked through rock.
“You will have to trust me sooner or later,” he told her, rifling through a bag at his feet.
She didn’t answer that either.

They’ll have to work on mutual trust, I think. Great descriptions and atmosphere.
Yes you are so right! Thanks
Dear :Laurie,
Something tells me he’s not to be trusted. Intriguing snippet.
Shalom,

Thanks Rochelle 😊
Toni probably realised not much future with this man.
Intriguing mystery!
Thank you Lisa
I feel some tension in this exchange. The late return, the eerie setting. Makes me want to know more.
Thank you Margaret. 😊
Quite the mystery. I’m intrigued to know more!
Thank you Brenda. Just a little taste of my novel
Very nice!
Very mysterious and she doesn’t have to trust him, he must prove himself trustworthy. Even if he’s her only hope, she could chose to rely on herself alone. Good luck with the book.
Yesss! Exactly Michael. You nailed it
I don’t trust him, either. Can sense something dark here.
Hmmmm indeed
This is excellent… so many questions I need an answer to.
Thank you Bjorn! 😊
