"Yeah, it was. Was, being the key word here. I already ruined one boy's life today, I'm not going to ruin yours too by getting you pinned down as an accomplice." Evelise pursed her lips, fidgeting with the toe of her boot. Morbid as it sounded, she never had to worry about cleaning up her messes before. Some drunk human?

Oh well, figure it out. Her mistake, her burden. As much as she was terrified of the looming consequences, if she couldn't outrun them, she wouldn't want them catching up with anyone else either. Casting one last glance at the messy pile barely visible at the back, Evelise ducked out of the alley and back onto the street, albeit sticking to the shadowy areas under the overhanging eaves and awnings. "I'm going to Martha's, and you're going to stay safe, Atti. You're the kindest thing for helping me when I clearly don't deserve it, but you're not getting into more trouble for my sake. Okay?"
