Re-l stared at him, her mouth slightly opened, and then clamped her teeth shut and sat down heavily beside her pack, covering her face with a hand.
"Do what you like," she said. "Get up, walk to the city. I can't do this. At least Vincent knew how to cook. And eat."
She turned away from him. It would have been nice to make a grand gesture, to get up and stride away, leaving him him in the dark, but she was exhausted herself, and cold, and she knew how stupid it would be. Bringing up Vincent's name had been a bad idea, because a wave of longing overwhelmed her. She hadn't been this long without seeing him since she'd met him, and she wanted to talk to him. He would have made her feel better, even if she pretended she didn't.
Re-l lay down on the large slab of rock, drawing her legs into her chest, and tried to pretend that she was back in the Rabbit, sleeping on the floor next to Pino.
