“No? I mean, I knew you hadn’t gone home yet, but I thought maybe that was our fault, you protecting your dad, staying away from places we’d know you frequent.”
Ah, now the comment about making the others leave her and her dad alone makes more sense.
“I’m still hurt, still mad at him. Mad at myself, too. I guess, more than anyone, I expected my dad to understand, to give me the benefit of a doubt.
He kind of did, for a while.
And going home would be going back to the way things were, which is the last thing I want.”
Oh yeah, the escapism is still on.
I suppose the Shadow Stalker revelation doesn’t help either.
“So you don’t want to go home, you obviously don’t want to go to the Birdcage, and you turned down an offer to join the Wards.”
A revelation which Tattle might not know about yet.
Though I did suspect that she found out when Taylor and Tattle met eyes last chapter…
I hesitated, “Yeah.”
“So, what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know.”
Taylor is kind of stuck now.
What even is she going to be when she finds out what to do?
Hero? Villain? Civilian? Rogue?
Those last two seem unlikely. This is a story, after all.
