CHAPTER 4
Andrea was setting on the sofa reading Jane a book. I look over at them with a smile.
They were mine, I thought proudly.
Still I was haunted by my past with Andrea.I lied to Andrea to keep her safe, but she lied because she was afriad. Was there a part of her still afriad of me?
Would she end up leaving again?
"Did anyone ever find Milton?" She questioned me after she put the book down.
"No. He's long gone from here. Probably gotten eat by biters," I lied.
"I just find it hard to believe Milton would leave Woodbury. He loved this community so much," Andrea said putting a bottle in Jane's mouth.
"I know. He was afriad I kill him after you escaped," I muttered.
"You didn't kill him right? You could tell me if you did," Andrea says looking into my blue eyes questioning my authority.
"No, Andrea I did not kill Milton. He left before we got back," I whispered.
"Part of wants to go out there and look for him myself. If he is out there I feel like I could find him," she says her eyes not leaving mine.
"I can't let you out there. Jane and I need you here. This place would fall apart without you," I whispered.
"I know, but I helped Shane look for Sophia. I am a good back up. I feel like I could really help Martinez with the search," she says.
"Andrea, you're still recovering from having the baby. And I need you here with me. Could you please just do what I ask," I said forcefully.
"Okay. You're right," she says putting her fingers to my lips.
I sigh and shake my head. "You love to challenge me, don't you?"
"Yes,but you love it," she whispers.
"I do." I lean down to her and kiss her again.
