It hurt that it was over. How could it not? Gabby had given up her life, given up her animals and home in the idyllic European countryside for the cement jungle of New York City, and jumped at the opportunity to do this stupid competition and almost risk her life again, just for her sake.“With the two of us, we have a better chance of winning. We can make a better life for ourselves.” Everything she said sounded so nice, so easy. Even when they’d both lost, Ellie had held her shaking hands tight and told her that there were more important things than money worth fighting for. She had no reason not to think she wasn’t telling the truth.Well, she’d also said there was no honor among thieves. Maybe Gabby should have taken that to heart instead.
