    Summary

    They're still living in one of the safe houses, well away from the city's highways, with her eyes pressed closed she can see each of the tiny rooms, but even they are hazy, blurred at the edges by the omnipresent humming of engines and the shuffling tired feet that had filled that first night.

    Summary

    Krista stops short outside the bathroom, only taking the final step inside when Astrid prods her lightly.

She swallows and raises an eyebrow when Astrid slips into the space beside her to close the door behind them.
