Come Back
It may seem a bit odd when, compared to our world, we discover two young women so wanting the company of those who've been like parents to them. Still, one must remember that Reigna and Eden have lived a very sheltered life, having rarely left the compound over the years. Now they prepare to set out to discover the world for themselves. It is a scary prospect to do something new and different--to take an action you know leaves you vulnerable because there is no longer a safety net in place for you. Have you ever done that? What is the scariest thing you did as a young adult that may, in the end, have changed the course of your life?

“But—”
“There are no ‘buts,’” Reigna interrupted.
“‘There are no buts,’” her sister repeated, grinning. “You sound like Mara every time you say that.”
Reigna’s face fell.
Eden put her hand on her sister’s arm. “I know. I miss them too. But I can’t go along with your taking . . . that,” she said, gesturing toward the weapon.
“Oh, all right then, if you insist, I’ll find another. But I’m not leaving without one.”
The two sat quietly for a minute, each lost in her own thoughts.
“I wish they’d come back,” Reigna said. “Maybe then we wouldn’t have to go anywhere.”
“I thought you wanted to go.”
“I guess I do. But even more, I want Mara and Dixon back.”
