Kasey sighed and fell onto her back on her bed. She felt like she was supposed to know what she should say, but she didn't. Except for "No." She wasn't breaking up with him. At least she didn't want to.
"Is that what you think I should do? Stay here, lie about it, and hope they don't find me? Bullshit." Even with Aubrey there, that sounded patently not right.
But then the anger on her face lessened and she tried to sit up slowly. "Do you think I'm a coward?" Nobody seemed to agree with her decision to work with the government. And while it made sense because this was screwed up, staying undercover didn't feel right, either. "I...I love you, Aubrey," she said, her voice cracking a little despite her best effort not to cry. "I do, and I don't want to leave, but this is a big thing, and I can't just trust the Professor to keep us all safe here." Pessimistic? Maybe a little.
