There would be no time to waste, not when Schuldig would know, if he didn't already, of her true intentions. It was a matter of honor, a matter of keeping her word. And perhaps it was a matter of something else entirely.
There wasn't time to lament it slipping away from her. There was only time to cling to the blinking chaos that was beginning to seep through the bandage and pull at the stitches.
She knew the way to the Sun Room by heart. Even in the darkness, she needed only to follow the precise path she'd plotted in her mind. The right number of steps, the exact movement of leg and foot to make it to her destination as quickly as was humanly possible.
She and Kadaj... They both had something to prove.
