Tell him I came to free you and managed to get you out, and that we went to the stream so I could soak and rest and heal my wounds,? she said. It was a plan, a shaky one, but necessary. It was then that she would tell the biggest lie of all. ?I?m going to stay in the South for a while,? she said. She?d be damned if she actually said where she was going. She knew, but she?d keep it like a secret in her bones.
