"I trust you." Hannah closed her eyes.

"Are you done filling her up?" Josh asked Ben.

"Yep, all clear. Are you driving Hannah's car?"

Ben shut his car door and started up the engine. Josh sat down next to her and turned the key in the ignition. She closed her eyes again when they drove off, feeling her entire body relax.

"Just rest," he said. "You'll have to wake up to eat your tacos when we get home, though."

"Hmmm." She dozed off, thinking about the way Josh had made her feel when he'd held her hands. Even though he was six years her junior, she felt inexplicably safe and secure with him. She wasn't sure she wanted to feel that way about him, though. The age difference between them wasn't bugging her, but his mood swings were. Plus the fact that Emily had warned her about Josh pushing people away, not letting anybody get close to him.

Hannah fell into a deep sleep. She didn't notice the car pulling into the driveway. She didn't wake up when Josh lifted her and carried her inside, or when Ben tucked her in.

That was the night she dreamed about the burning village for the first time.
