“That doesn’t ease my mind.”
Saul’s eyes darkened as he met mine. “Yes, well, I think we’ve gone beyond easing anyone’s mind. We’ve waited long enough as it is. I would’ve preferred we do this sooner, but you—”
“This wasn’t a spur of the moment kinda thing, Saul. It’s his life we’re altering. I don’t know how he’ll take it.” I sighed, feeling a little defeated. “I wanted to give Papan a chance to recover on his own.” I’d been so sure he would.
“He’ll be grateful you helped save his life.”
“You don’t know that.”
“I know Jason a lot better than you think.”
“Guys, guys, both off you need to calm down and concentrate on why we’re here,” Lavie said, waving her arms between us. “Sierra, you want your hunky boyfriend to be more than a delicious vegetable on a platter, right? And Saul, you want your friend back. I know how much it hurts both of you to see him like this, so quit bitching and get on with it! I swear you two act like brother and sister.”
I narrowed my eyes at Saul and he dipped his chin. Lavie was right. We couldn’t lose sight of the big picture. We had to save Papan.
“Sorry,” I said. “Do your thing.”
