Six Sentence Sunday: Why Am I Here?

An extract from Deathhawk’s Betrayal:

Why am I even here?

What she admitted only in the dark, secret places of her soul was that the morning’s visit with the Order’s relay, his gentle charm and the remembered touch of Aldenon’s hands, had driven her here.

Is it that I want Aldenon to catch me?
