"Yeah. I know all about that." Allison replied, her tone gone quiet, hard, and ragged at the edges with remembered pain. A rooftop in Darrow, with nothing left but Jason's domino in her hand...
It's enough to make her stop dead, shifting her crutches into one hand so she can shove a hand into her pocket, because what if--
The soft, sleek material of the mask touches her fingers, rips a quiet, shuddering breath of relief from her lungs. She grips it for a second, just holds on to the familiar material, and fights the urge to pull it out and press her lips to it.
Withdrawing her hand from the pocket of her cutoffs, she keeps her head down, just taking a second to collect herself before she settles back onto her crutches and starts limping along again, finally able to look Snow in the eye.
"I've lost people in Darrow the same way--so this boyfriend of your mother's, is he an Alpha? I was part of a pack back home, both homes. It feels wrong not to be in one...I guess if he's looking to expand, let him know he can talk to me if you see him?"
