Summary
Joyce silently urges Will to continue, her eyebrows drawn together in concern, "But Max, she told me he's also afraid, which proves I can beat him. But for me to do that," Will clears his throat and feels his stomach violently churn, "I think you need to know the truth."
The truth.

There had been nothing but an all consuming fear nipping at the heels of his feet as he desperately tried to outrun his own inclination.
