HUDSON Everyone leaves us, and we walk further into the forest, all three of us silent. Both of us men know each other, but Brooke can't talk, so it's hard to converse with her. I wish I could hear her voice. I could hear Asher sigh in my head, and he felt the same. We came closer to a boulder, but Jackson had other ideas. "Brooke, did you go to school?" asks Jackson but soon regrets asking that question because the face Brooke gave us was heart-wrenching. Brooke stopped suddenly, which made us both stop in our tracks. She shook her head and mouthed, "No, never allowed." Both Jackson and I looked at her stunned, but it didn't surprise us, especially with everything that b***h had done to her. "What do you like doing?" He asked. "Sketching," she mouths and looks at me with a smile.
