The familiarity of his passenger was dawning on Rowan very, very slowly. The shape, the size, the missing parts. It was all coming together like a puzzle slotting into place, a picture becoming gradually clearer. Maybe he would have rescued anyone, put on the spot in the middle of a storm. But he didn’t think so. This was something else. There was a part of his identity that had been tied to Lucian since he’d first met him, a part that he had found impossible to excise in his absence. He had taken with him, in a way, all his potential to be better, to be more. Maybe it really was fate. It felt like it had to be a miracle that he found his way back to the half-assembled shelter, but pushing under the overhang took them out of the worst of the deluge. No time to waste, Rowan knelt and let the wet glob of fur slide off his back, man-handling him to his feet just to make sure he wasn’t about to slip and fall into the flood waters. Uselessly shaking the rain from his fur and face, heart hammering, he did his best to blink the rain water out of his eyes and focus. “I’ll pass you the debris, just shore up the holes,” Rowan instructed without a moment’s pause, immediately slipping back down the tree roots to gather mud and large, floating sticks. “You don’t have to see, just feel where the rain’s still coming in.” |
