chapter 26 luke 's car was n't in the lot , and he was n't answering his door . tell me were not going that way . that gave mercy the first bit of comfort she had felt all day . but i was very conscious of the time passing . aye , you do delight in telling me so , paint answered , rolling his eyes . she can not spend her days in that gloomy place , no more than i can . i stab at the pizza on my plate .
