Chapter 359: Possibilities
Elin wasn't sure what was more embarrassing. The fact that she'd given Jonas pretty much a full frontal view of her bare body or the fact that it took her a few minutes to even realize he was there.
She only noticed him when she started to come out of the water. Though, with him unconscious, it was hard for her to say how long he'd been there at the time. However, at that moment, she thought back and realized that she had seen him, but just didn't realize it because she was thinking of other things at that moment.
Her only hope was that when he woke up that he wouldn't remember seeing her like that. Though, she couldn't think of a way that would guarantee of that happening. Even if she killed him, she doubted that it would make it so he wouldn't remember seeing her body.
When she was able to calm down, she quickly got dressed and waited. She stated the campfire, if only to help warm her up rom the cool air while she wondered how long Jonas would be out of it. She didn't know if there was anything wrong with him, other than just being tired, but somehow this felt different from what she'd seen before.
Even though the only times 'before' that she could see were all in her father's house.
Still, she wouldn't be able to do anything more for him anyway as it wasn't like she had anything to offer that would help him deal with... whatever he was dealing with.
Elin wasn't sure if she'd be able to stand the watch all night, but unless someone else showed up, she wouldn't exactly be left with many options. Not when it was more than just her life on the line there.
She wasn't sure where Ember was. But for some reason, she had a feeling that they hadn't see the last of that bird. Though she wasn't quite sure what the importance of the bird was. She was just confident that there was one.
She felt like she should know what that was, but her mind only kept drawing a blank whenever she tried to think about it for very long.
