Insta-love after a day. A lot of repeating the same information in different sentences, but in the same paragraph.

Example below includes a mild spoiler.
[ She thought about running, but he was a dragon, and she couldn’t even see ten feet in front of her. Abel said he would find her, and so she simply believed that he would. It was her only hope.

They walked and walked, and Effie’s mind raced as she thought of ways of escape, but Iosef was a dragon, and she couldn’t even see ten feet in front of her. Where would she run, and how many steps could she take before Iosef was on top of her? Five steps? Ten? No…she couldn’t escape while Iosef held her by the arm.

Even if she had a ten-minute head start, she doubted she’d get away from him. Abel said he would find her, and so she simply believed that he would. It was her only hope. (hide spoiler)]

Things really weren't closed. What about the cops? The raid? The other shifters? ( )
