Summary:
The first night after the casino fell was clear and warm so everyone slept out in the open, under the stars, but the sky the next morning made the need for tents a priority - right behind food and latrines.
Hope had spent that night laying next to Jack, safe and warm in his arms, but in the morning he pulled away to answer a dozen different questions and by the time evening fell Hope still hadn't seen him.
One of the diamond girls came up to her, “We've claimed a camp space, come stay with us, Hope?”
The first night she had been sheltered by Jack, the second night she had been sheltered by the love of her people.
