cry.”
Taylor swiped at her eyes. These days, it wasn’t unusual for her to not know why she was crying. This, however, was a different circumstance entirely. While it was exciting, part of her hoped that Lark was mistaken. With everything that was going on, the thought of having even one baby was nearly overwhelming.
Appearing distressed, Lark embraced her in one of her too-tight hugs. “I’m so sorry, Taylor.”
Taylor sniffled. “Because I’m having twins? I assure you, you had nothing to do with that.”
Lark shook her head. “No, not that. I mean about Whiteriver, Snow, your face, everything.”
“You have nothing to be sorry for.”
“That’s debatable.”
Taylor nearly jumped at the sound of Alder’s cold voice. She looked up to see Hale, Alder, and Laurel approaching their bonfire. Taylor’s brow knit in confusion. Why was Laurel back already?
“Get up,” Hale said. “It’s time to talk.”
Taylor moved to stand, but Alder held a hand up. “Not you.”
Lark stood with her hands clasped behind her back. Her head drooped in submission. “I’m sorry.”
Ignoring Alder, Taylor stood, prepared to defend Lark. “What is this about?”
It was Laurel who spoke, then. “While I was on my way to Mount Ezra, I found Glenn in the woods. Turns out, he wasn’t attacked. He’d been sent on an errand.”
Alder folded his arms across his chest. “Sent by the same person who told us he was missing.”
He inclined his head towards Lark.
Taylor shook her head, not wanting to believe it. “Lark?”
Lark cast her a mournful look. “I’m so sorry.”
