Solitude continued to peck at the glowing bugs as Rhyme shifted his focus back to Samara’s dainty form. He perked his eyebrows as she mentioned that she had seen her, but would eventually get around to talking to her. Was she really putting time with him ahead of the sister she had been searching for?
