  92. By Amanda Hocking

Hugo had stopped working on it while we’d been busy, because he wasn’t sure what to do with it, and that had slowed his progress. But he’d gotten it all fixed up in time for me to drive back to Förening.

The bright mojito green Jeep Wrangler was dusty, but otherwise it looked good as new. The canvas canopy was shiny and intact, and the scratches in the paint were gone.

“This looks really great,” I said as Pan and I inspected the Jeep. “Thanks again. How much do I owe you?”

“Two hundred and fifty dollars.” Hugo stood beside us, half leaning on the vehicle. Grease stained his white shirt, his dark brown hair tangled curls that landed just above his jaw.

I hid my wince as I pulled the cash out of my bag. It really wasn’t a bad price, but that was 250 fewer dollars that I had to fund my two-day road trip to Minnesota. I wasn’t flat broke yet, but my savings were very, very scant.

That was another reason I had to get back to Förening. I wanted to ask Finn and Mia for a small loan. Just something until I could get a paying job again. When I’d lived with the Tulins, I’d worked at the inn, and when I lived with Finn and Mia, I helped watch the kids (and cook and clean) for ten-plus hours a day.

So I was used to working, and I hadn’t been sitting idly. Dealing with the fallout of being captive in another kingdom took time, and it felt like I was so close to understanding and remembering what had happened to me.

I might have to spend every penny I had, but it would be worth it to know the truth and to stop something terrible from happening. And then I could move on. Decide where to live and find a job. And spend quality time with Pan.

After I paid Hugo, he gave me the keys to the Jeep, and Pan and I got in and began the short drive back to the apartment.

“I wish I was going with you,” Pan said quietly.

Yesterday, when I’d been making the plans, we’d decided it was best if he stayed back. Eliana insisted on going, and we all thought that Jem and Sumi shouldn’t be separated from her. With the four of us, that was basically a carload. Plus, Pan had been missing a lot of work, and he was needed here.

Dagny and Elof were continuing their research into what was wrong with Eliana, what the Älvolk were up to, and how to recover our memories safely, and Pan could help them with that. It all made sense, and he understood and agreed with all of it.
