It was, considering why he'd gotten close to Yuna in the first place. But right now, | didn't have any other options.
Keeping Yuna withwas too risky. The only solution was leaving her in Wade's care.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. | trust you," | said, giving him a look that let him know | meant it.
