Chpater 409 I wasn't arguing with him today. If he wanted to stay in a funk about what happened, then he would cout it the way he went into it because I wasn't talking about it anymore. I was over it. I woke around 9 and the bed was empty and cold next to me. Of course, he didn't chome. Probably still patrolling this very minute.
I was in the kitchen drinking coffee. Lana had already left this morning leavinga note to makeaware. I had already planned my day for today. I wasn't sitting about the house doing nothing. It's all I ever did, and I was sick of it.
I had already showered and planned to visit the library in town. I also planned to stop by the college again to see if they could speed up the process on their decision.
I was sick of waiting to hear back from them too. I needed something to fill my time, and college was the perfect place. It also gavea little bit of my life back. Snormality and maybe even a little bit of my social life back.
I never went out anymore, not like I used to, and I missed it. I missed the nightlife, the dancing, the music. Sometimes I felt like a housewife, and I was nowhere near ready for that.
Jake liked to keepin a bubble but that wasn't me. He would be happy to haveat hall day every day, but I couldn't do it. I wasn't built to do nothing.
I finished off my coffee placing my empty mug in the sink. Slipping my arms into my jacket I grabbed the keys to the truck and my purse before leaving out the front door. I stopped on the porch.
Jake and Pete seemed deep in conversation at the bottom of the driveway.
Like they weren't even there I made my way to the truck unlocked it and got in. I had yet to replace my car so Jake's truck would have to do.
He jumped in the passenger side leaving the door ajar so I couldn't just drive off. Not that I would do that anyway.
"Leah?".
"Good morning to you too. I see you didn't chlast night". I put the keys in the ignition and turned on the engine.
"I had to put stuff into place. Where are you going?". He frowned.
"Into town. I want to visit the library and then drop by the college. I might even stop and have sbreakfast on the way. Are you going to bed?". I asked. "Yeah". He scratched the back of his head. "What's going on?".
"Nothing". I shrugged. "I just didn't want to sit in the house all day. I'm sick of staring at the sfour walls".
"Do you have your phone with you?" He asked.
"I do". I nodded.
He knew better than to try and stop me. It wouldn't work because he knew I wouldn't listen. It would just cause an argument that could be avoided.
"Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?". I asked. "I still want to run a few ideas by you if that's okay?". "Are you sure you're, okay?".
"I'm fine. Do you needto bring you anything back?".
He shook his head. "Just textwhen you get there so I know you're okay. I'll book somewhere for dinner". He reached over placing a kiss on my lips. "We'll talk when your back". Talk about what? "Okay".
I stopped at the Starbucks drive-thru for coffee before setting off towards the college. I should have heard something back by now and the fact that I haven't worried me. My grades are good enough to get in which makesthink Mr. Gallagher really has it in for me.
But why? I turned down Yale because it was the right thing to do. I wouldn't be able to cope being that far from Jake and not just that my life was here. My friends and family were here.
I made the decision to go to Yale out of spite. I did it impulsively to hurt Jake. I applied when I was angry and if I'm honest I never thought I'd have gotten accepted.
I was good enough for community college and I wasn't taking no for an answer. I pulled into the parking lot and parked up. The semester didn't start for another month, so I had plenty of tto fight my case if the decision was no.
I think I sat outside for at least an hour. I couldn't bring myself to go inside. Maybe deep down I feared being rejected. If I didn't get in, I literally had nothing left.
I needed this.
The knock on my window causedto jump. A classic move from Mr. Gallagher. I rolled my window down slightly.
"The semester hasn't started yet Miss Wilson. Why are you parked in my car park?". He asked.
"Because I need-...". I paused.
Chpater 408 "They wouldn't have hurt him". I fixed two cups adding half a sugar into mine. "They knew you'd have done anything to make sure he stayed safe". "Doesn't matter". She whispered. "I did the worst thing and now he won't talk to me".
"Jake doesn't know that you were involved". I spoke.
"He will". She sniffled. "Pete won't be able to keep that from him. He's already thinking the worst".
"Everything will be fine. Jake with stew for a few days but he'll caround". I passed her a mug of tea and headed into the living room.
"I really am sorry Leah. I should have done something instead of doing nothing. I should have fought or told someone".
"I would have done the sif I was in your position, but it's done with now so let's move on. Is Pete with Jake now?". I asked.
She nodded. "Jake was going on about putting more people on patrol. I wouldn't be surprised if they're out there all night".
"Then you stay here with me. We can order food watch movies maybe even have swine". I smiled.
"I'd like that". I smiled. "Feels like forever since we hung out together".
"Life gets busy". I shrugged. "Now do you fancy Chinese or pizza?".
"Chinese". She grinned. "I've been craving egg rolls".
"Better watch you're not pregnant". I laughed. "I'll order food you pick something to watch".
"I'm really glad I've got you in my life Leah. I don't deserve a friend like you".
"We'll always be friends and I'll always be here. Pete will caround and everything will be fine".
"I don't know". She shrugged. "He was really angry more so because I let them take you".
I rolled my eyes. "You didn't have a choice and they're werewolves. You made the right decision".
"How are you so cool about what happened?". She asked.
I shrugged. "I'm safe they didn't hurtand now I'm back home. What's the point in being pissed off about it?". "Weren't you scared?".
"At first yeah". I nodded. "But there was no need forto be scared when I found out it was my dad. They might have gone about this the wrong way, but I know they would never hurt me". "Are you going to go back there?". She asked.
"I want to know my family, Lana. I've only ever had my gran and it's not as if she's part of my life anymore".
"I still find it strange how she distanced herself. She was so protective of you when we were younger. Do you know I can't remember the last tI saw her".
"Yeah". I nodded. "We're going to meet for coffee once a week and take it from there".
"Think you'll ever get back to the way things were?".
Deep down I knew it would never be the same, but I had to at least try, right? She was still my gran, and she played a big part in my life. But would I be able to get past all the secrets and lies? I mean what else is she keeping from me? "I hope so". I smiled. "Now pick something to watch I'll order the food".
I brought the blankets downstairs and threw the cushions from the couch on the floor. We were currently watching friends sharing a bottle of wine that was in the fridge.
"Do you think Jake will be home?". She asked.
I shrugged. "At least I'll know where he is if he doesn't".
"True". She nodded. "Have you received your acceptance letter for college yet?".
I shook my head. "Still waiting".
"I applied too". She grinned. "I thought we could go through it together".
"You did? What are you going to study?". I asked.
"Business". She smiled. "I want to open my own little boutique in town".
"Yeah?". I grinned. "I love it".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Let's hope I get in".
"Let's hope we both get in". I laughed.
"It'll be just like when we were back in Florida. Living our best life's. I'll be forever grateful that I'm here with you Leah. Let's face it I don't have anyone else. My mom doesn't give a shit aboutand if it wasn't for you and your gran, I don't know what would have happened".
"Everything happens for a reason. We were always going to end up here. As silly as it sounds, we're both exactly where we need to be".
"You're right but something tellsPete isn't going to be so forgiving after what I did".
"He'll caround besides he can't stay mad at you forever".
I was tidying up downstairs when he arrived home. Lana was already tucked up in bed in the spare room. She was an emotional rollercoaster tonight. We talked for hours, we laughed, we cried.
Folding away the blankets I could feel him staring. I had no idea what mood he was in or if him being out there had helped.
Usually, a run does the trick.
"Looks like you've had a busy night?". He held up the wine bottle before disposing of it into the trash.
"Not really". I shrugged. "Lana cover, we had a catch up".
"She still here?". He asked.
I nodded. "She's in the spare room".
"I see". He spoke.
"I didn't expect you home". I carried the wine glasses to the sink. I would wash them in the morning along with the dinner dishes. "I'm going to bed".
"Wait, wait a minute". He grabbed hold of my arm and pulledto him. "I'm sorry if I can't just be okay with what happened but you have to understand I have to keep you safe".
"And I am safe". I tilted my head so I could look up at him. "And yes, it could have been worse, but it wasn't. I'll always be okay; I'll always be safe, and you know I can handle my own".
"It's not about handling your own Leah but I'm not going to keep going on about it because you obviously don't have an issue with what happened. I'm heading back out I only cback to check on you". He kissed the top of my head and then he was gone. I locked the door as soon as he left.
I didn't know what he wantedto say or how I was to act. The main thing was that I was okay and safe, and I was. I don't know why he felt the need to keep going on about it.
Or maybe I should be more worried because of how easily they took me. But I wasn't because maybe I just didn't care.
A sigh fell from my lips as I turned the lights off and headed upstairs.
Chpater 407 I wanted to soak in the tub order Chinese food and not get up from the couch. Today had been all over the place.
Jake had been quiet since we got on the road, I wasn't sure how he was taking all of this.
I couldn't blhim if he was angry. If someone took him from me, I'd be furious.
"Do you think we could order Chinese food when we get home?". I asked.
"Sure babe". He nodded.
"Are you okay?".
"Just thinking Leah".
"About?". I pressed.
"They took you so easily, right from under my nose".
His voice was barely a whisper, but I heard every word. He had to know the truth; I wouldn't let him think he couldn't protect me. Our land, our territory was safe. They managed to takebecause they planned it all out. They went for the weakest amongst us all.
Lana.
The non werewolf.
"There must be changes made. More patrols, more bodies around our territory. I can't let what happened today happen again. They managed to get into our territory, and no one even knew about it".
I noticed how tight he was holding the steering wheel. The shifting in his breathing. Yeah, the more he talked about it the angrier he was becoming.
"They took my fucking mate". He growled his hand thumping off the steering wheel. "That doesn't say much aboutdoes it".
"What happened wasn't your fault". I spoke. "If an ing, I shouldn't have gone alone".
"Doesn't matter". He shook his head. "You're my mate I'm meant to protect you, and I failed. Our lands are meant to be safe and secure, and they clearly aren't".
"They are". I frowned. "There are people patrolling throughout the day every day. Our territory is safe Jake".
"It needs to be better Leah. What if it was someone else that took you? I can't believe I let this fucking happen".
"Calm down please".
"You're the most important person toLeah. If I lose you, I lose me. I can't just be okay with what happened". "I know". I whispered taking a hold of his hand in mine.
The conversation died silence filling the truck. I lay my head against his shoulder not letting go of his hand until we reached home. I jerked awake blinking open my eyes as the truck cto a stop. "What tis it?". A yawn escaped my mouth as I let go of his hand and rubbed at my eyes.
"Just gone 6". He unclipped his seatbelt but made no move to get out.
"Are you okay?". I asked.
"How can you be this calm about what happened?". He asked.
"I don't know". I shrugged. "Maybe because I knew I wasn't in any danger".
"But you could have been".
"But I wasn't". I frowned. "And I'm here with you now perfectly safe. Can we go inside?".
"I need to go for a run and set up new patrolling posts. I'll try and not be long".
Yeah, he was pissed all right, but I was going to let him do whatever he needed to get it out his head. Today could have been much worse but it wasn't and yes maybe I shouldn't be as calm about the whole situation but how else was I to react? I had already been through the freak out phase this morning. What was the point in stressing out over nothing. Yes, it could have been someone else that took me, but it wasn't it was my dad.
A sigh fell from my lips as I headed inside. It wouldn't surpriseif he stayed out all night. I kicked off my shoes and headed straight upstairs. Doing this I never noticed the car pull into the driveway.
It wasn't until I had stripped out of my clothes that I heard the knock on the front door. Quickly throwing on sfresh pjs I made my way downstairs just as there was another knock. "Who is it?". I asked.
"It's Lana".
I hesitated my hand on the doorknob. I don't think tonight was the right tto talk. She wasn't to blame; she wasn't at fault, but she still helped them take me. "Leah?". She called.
"I-... I'm not suitable is everything okay?". I asked.
"Please open the door. I need to explain".
I opened the door a sigh falling from my lips as I stepped to the side letting her cinside. Closing the door, I followed behind her into the living room. "Did you just get back?". She asked.
I nodded.
"I had no idea it was your dad Leah and of course I'm glad it was him and not someone else. I'm sorry okay but they took Pete and-...". A sob fell from her lips. This wasn't her fault. She couldn't have done anything to stop them from takingand they took Pete. If it was me, I would have done the sthing for Jake. "It's okay Lana".
"It's not". She shook her head. "I should have done something and now Pete isn't talking tobecause I let them take you. We're a mess everything is a mess". She cried. "Would you like stea?". I asked.
She nodded. "Pete thinks Jake will banish him. He said I should never have led them to you regardless of what they did to him".
Chpater 406 I rolled my eyes. "No life's lost. She doesn't matter".
"It's not the point Leah. You are the Alpha's mate, and he should have dealt with her accordingly instead of letting her harass you for months on end". "Can we not". I sighed.
I didn't want to talk about the past. What good would it doto mention things that mean nothing? This chapter belongs to obnb.o. If you're reading it somewhere else, it's been stolen. Head to joɓn b. o for authentic content and new chapters! Jake and I are in a good place. We're getting on with our lives. We're happy. "And what about the car accident?". He spoke.
"It was just that an accident". I had no idea why things were suddenly getting heated. He didn't really have the right to be upset about things that had happened in my life.
He hadn't been part of it.
"I'm sorry". He sighed. "I shouldn't have gone off like that. You want to know about your grandfather, right?".
I wasn't sure I did. I already had my suspicions and if they were right what would it matter? What I really wanted was to go home. I had things to think about and decide how I was going to go about all this added information. It wasn't going to change anything. My gran and I were distant and yes, I agreed to try and get our relationship back but what if that never happened? Was it even possible? It was hard trying to mask all the secrets she had kept.
If George was my grandfather, why had my gran and him been apart for so long? How could she have gone years without seeing her mate? How was that possible? "Leah?". He spoke.
I shook my head. "I don't think I need to know. I'm going to call Jake and see how long he's going to be".
"Okay. I'll give you sprivacy".
I'm glad he didn't push anything on me. When I think about it it's all irrelevant. The past was the past and regardless of the secrets that cout it wasn't going to affect my future.
I was still going to live my life.
I didn't see my dad again until Jake arrived, and he wasn't alone. To my surprise, he had brought Carter and Rocco with him. I understood why he but why was Rocco here? I expected the worst, I expected him to show up here in full Alpha mood but as soon as he saw me, he wrappedup in his arms and heldclose. Of course, I hugged him back my arms circling his waist my head resting against his chest. "You f*****g scared me". He whispered.
"I know I'm sorry". It was then I realised it was just us. Carter and Rocco had disappeared.
"What's going on Leah?". He asked.
My heart fluttered, my stomach tightening. He was calm now, but I had no idea what he was going to be like once I told him the truth. It didn't take a lot to get his back up, he saw red at the smallest of things. "Why's Rocco here?". I asked.
"I trust him". He shrugged. "And I trust him with you". Placing a kiss on the top of my head he slipped his hand into mine and we took a seat on the couch.
Oh, this was news to me.
"My dad wanted to see me". I spoke.
"So, you just left without telling me?". He frowned. "Are you not happy?".
"No, of course, not". A sigh fell from my lips. "I would never. They tookand broughthere".
"What do you mean they took you?". He tensed. "They took you against your will?".
I chewed the inside of my cheek and nodded. "I woke up here but I'm okay they didn't hurt me".
"Letget this straight". He pushed himself to his feet. Notice something off? You're reading a copied chapter! The original book belongs to job.m. For real updates and exclusive content, visit jo ɓm. "They took you and you woke up here. What do you mean you woke up? What the f**k did they do to you?".
"Jake I'm safe calm down".
"I am calm". He barked. "Now tellwhat they did to you?".
"If I may". My dad appeared in the doorway. "I don't want no trouble Jake, but I thought it was tI stepped in".
Eh? "Stepped in?". Jake frowned. "You took my mate without her consent".
"I did". He nodded. "I went about this the wrong way, but it was tshe meets her family".
"Don't you think she should be the one to decide when that happens?". He spoke.
"Jake". I squeezed his hand.
"No, it's okay Leah". He walked further into the room. "He's protective, I was the swith your mom. I would like Leah to stay here for a few weeks".
"No". Jake was quick to answer. "She's coming hwith me".
"I think it will benefit her and her wolf".
"I said no".
The atmosphere was tense, and he had done well not to lose his temper, but I wasn't sure how much longer that was going to last. Hold on! This chapter was lifted from obniẞ. M. If you're not reading it there, you're seeing a copy. Join us at for the original chapters and more. It was best for us to leave now before things got out of hand because if they do, I wouldn't be able to stop it.
"I was asking you out of courtesy Jake, but the decision is not yours to make. If Leah wants to stay, then she's free to do so".
"Could you give us a minute?". My eyes landed on my dad's, and he gavea nod.
"If we leave now, we'll be hfor dinner".
"I don't want to stay here Jake, but I want to cback soon. I want to finally meet my family".
A sigh fell from his lips as he sat on one of the armchairs. "It's your decision Leah I'm not going to stop you. He is your dad, and you deserve to know your family". "Really?".
"As pissed off as I am at how he went about getting you here I think he's right. You being here might help with your wolf".
"Or I might just be defective". I gave him a small smile to try and lighten the mood.
"You know I just want what's best for you right?".
"I know". I nodded.
"And if you want to stay that's okay".
I don't know what had cover him, but he was taking all this well. I was expecting him to have shifted by now but instead he stayed calm and collected. "Let's go home". I smiled.
Вобів.Вм Chpater 405 I decided against it. I got as far as the start of the forest before I turned around. The rain wasn't too bad, but it was cold and wet, and I didn't fancy ending up with a cold. Being sick was the least of my worries right enough. I had no idea what Jake was going to be like when he got here. Not to mention everything I had just found out. My gran had been lying tofor years. Hold on! This chapter was stolen from 6B.. For the freshest and most authentic chapters, visit to believe a word that cout of her mouth from now on? My head was throbbing, my mind working overtwith all the questions I had.
As I walked up the front steps I paused when the door opened.
"Please cback inside. Jake won't be here for a while, and I don't want you to get sick".
6 B., where we release exclusive content first. Was anything she toldtrue? How was I ever going I wasn't going to protest because I was freezing, and the rain wasn't stopping any tsoon. I wiped my feet on the mat before heading back into the lounge and sitting on one of the armchairs. "Is there anything I can get you?". He asked.
"I'll take that grilled cheese sandwich if it's still on offer".
"Of course". He smiled. "Are you warm enough? Would you like a blanket? A hot drink?".
"Can I ask you something?".
"Sure, anything".
"Do you know who my grandfather is?".
"How about I make your sandwich and then I'll answer any questions you have if I can".
"Okay". I nodded.
I wasn't sure I wanted to ask anything. Sure, I wanted to know who my grandfather was but everything else didn't matter really. You couldn't change the past; my life was my life regardless if most of it was a lie. Why hide the truth? Surely, she knew it would all cout one day? Maybe that's why she wanted to reconnect? Soften the blow of hiding so many things from me.
A sigh fell from my lips. When did everything becso f****d up? If we didn't move here, would I be any the wiser? Would she have continued to hide all of this from me? I'm starting to think moving here was the biggest mistake. Nothing makes sense, it's lie after lie and yet it's all circulating around me.
Maybe I was the problem? Maybe my gran shouldn't have takenaway all those years ago. If I was brought up here, then it would all be different.
We moved to Texas because we needed a change. That's the lie I was told and because I was none the wiser, I believed it. Fast forward to now and everything was starting to make sense.
My gran moved us out here to be with George. George was her mate, and I had suspicions that he was my grandfather. That would make the most sense.
It still didn't explain all the secrets right enough. You're missing out! This book was meant for ob ni b.
I looked, I could handle a lot and I'd rather be faced with the truth than have everyone I know lie to me. "I hope diet coke's okay".

I was tougher than My dad's voice reached my ears knockingout of my thoughts. How would I even call my gran and drop all of this into a conversation? "It's fine". I smiled. "Thank you". I took the plate from him and didn't hesitate to get stuck in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Are you happy Leah?". He asked.
"Yeah". I nodded.
"And Jake treats you good?".
"Like a princess". I laughed.
"I meant what I said when I told you I was watching over you. Even if I wasn't part of your life, I had to know you were okay".
"What does that mean?". I frowned.
"I've had people watching over you".
"You have?".
He nodded. "Can't say I like all of what I've been told. If I'm honest it's part of the reason I had them bring you here".
I wasn't sure what he was talking about. Yes, living here hasn't exactly been a walk in the park but it's better now. I just had to find my feet and show certain people I wasn't going anywhere. "Tellsomething. How is that Jessica girl still living?". He asked.
Oh, so he knows about her too.
"Why wouldn't she be?".
"She should have been banished the minute she tried to attack you".
"She was".
"No". He shook his head. "Banished from pack land, never to return". "She is no longer part of our pack. Hold on! This chapter was lifted from obniẞ.
M. If you're not reading it there, you're seeing a copy. Join us at tobniß.M for the original chapters and more. Her and her family were ordered to move on, and they have. Jessica isn't an issue anymore". I hadn't seen her for weeks nor did I plan on ever seeing her again.
"She should never have been an issue for you to begin with. If you were part of my pack, she would have been slaughtered the minute she tried to lay a hand on you".
Chpater 404 But here we are. Two strangers because that what we are strangers sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee. This didn't feel like home, they may be family, but they weren't family.
It was going to take tand effort for us to ever get to being daughter and dad. But maybe one day we'll get there.
"We don't really talk anymore". I spoke. "Are you reading this on sobiẞs.o? If not, you've been misled! This content was lifted from our site. Head over to obiẞ. for genuine chapters, the latest updates, and exclusive releases." "Things got weird real fast. They changed, she changed. Within weeks of being here my life turned upside down".
"I had no idea". He frowned. "And I'm sorry things have been so tough for you. I bet finding out that you're a werewolf didn't help".
"About that how can I be a full blood when my mom was human?". I asked.
He thought I didn't notice but I did. His body stiffened; his eyebrows furrowed and suddenly he couldn't seem to lookin the eye.
"Are you sure you don't want something else to eat?". He asked. "I do a mean grilled cheese sandwich, or we could go out to eat?".
"If you know something about my mom then please tell me". I only knew what my gran told me. Of course, I was just a baby when my mom died so I couldn't remember anything.
Pictures were all I had.
"I don't know anything Leah. The moon goddess is a magical thing. Maybe you were meant to be full wolf".
"You're joking right?".
"Jake will be here soon. You can wait in here or you can wait in the lounge. I have sbusiness I need to take care of".
Now I knew he was hiding something. Why would he hide anything about my mom from me? "I think I'll wait outside". I placed my cup on the table. "Don't be ridiculous it's raining, and the temperature has dropped. You'll end up sick".
"Then tellthe truth, tellwhat you're hiding and why you're suddenly in a rush to leave".
"It's not my story to tell Leah".
So, he was hiding something from me. I couldn't be bothered with anymore secrets. My life had been full of secrets and lies from the minute I got here. "Found this book interesting? If you're not on Jobb.o, you're missing the real experience. Someone's copied this content! Visit obib.o for authentic, up-to-date information directly from us." If he was another one that was going to fill my head with rubbish, then I wanted nothing to do with him.
I didn't have the tor energy for anymore bullshit.
Wasn't there anyone that could just be honest and open? Why was I always the last one to know the truth? "I've had enough". I sighed. "It's just secret after secret, lie and lie and I just can't be bothered with it anymore". I would wait outside whether it was raining or not.
"Wait". He sighed as I reached the front door.
"No, it's okay. You don't want to telland that's fine but I'm going to wait outside until Jake gets here". I wasn't going to guilt him into telling me. Like he said it wasn't his story to tell. "I'm not going to stop you from leaving but I am going to say this. Talk to your gran".
"Why would I need to talk to my gran?". I asked.
"Because Leah, it's her story to tell".
"What?".
A sigh fell from his lips as he ran a hand over his face. "Your mom wasn't human sweetheart. She too was a werewolf".
My breath caught in my throat.
What? No, she, my gran was human, my gramps was human.
"You're lying". I spoke. "I-... my gran-... she. I don't understand". My whole life had been a lie. Everything was a lie.
"My grans a werewolf?". I asked.
"No". He shook his head. "But your grandfather is".
WHAT? "Is?". My grandfather is dead. Well obviously, my gramps wasn't my gramps. "I have to go". My head felt like it was going to explode. I really knew nothing about my life, my family.
I had no idea who I was anymore.
I leaned against the front door once I closed it behind me. The cool air welcoming against my face, the rain battering off the ground. With my hand tightly wrapped around my phone I dialed his number bringing it to my ear. "Ready to tellwhat's going on?". He answered with.
"I-... Are you nearly here?". I whispered.
I didn't want him to know I was on the verge of tears. I chewed the inside of my cheek until I tasted my own blood.
"What's going on Leah? Please talk to me".
Did he know? Was he in on it like everyone else? Poor little Leah couldn't handle knowing the truth.
"You never toldyou've been here before". I spoke.
"Been where?". He asked.
