#Chapter 177

Theodore’s POV This was ridiculous. Eva had made a whole stink about coming with me and Dahlia to check out the military and refugee settlement, had very dramatically droned on about how of course Dahlia wouldn’t be in the same carriage as us, requiring us to prepare a second carriage just for Dahlia when the first one had plenty of space for three people. Then the second we took off, me and Eva in the first carriage and Dahlia trailing in the one behind us, Eva stuck earbuds in to watch a show on her phone. She wasn’t paying any attention to me at all. It took a great deal of effort to keep myself from ripping those earbuds out and roaring, “Are you fucking kidding me?!?” Except of course I didn’t want her to pay attention to me. It was just the principle of the matter. Or rather, her lack of principles. Dahlia and I had expected to continue planning things during the carriage rides, and I was half tempted to call Dahlia – ridiculous as it was – to do just that over phone
