He hated it. Seth absolutely loathed the way both himself and Samantha paced back and forth next to each other in the four by four room he had taken to sleeping in.
How Rollins wished he could say rest, but that would be a lie. His eyes may have been shut for a period of time, and he may have been unconscious, but his mind was not.
