Where is the excerpt?
I kept walking, my heart thumping in my chest. I'd been expecting this since I started. I'd been expecting the DHS to figure out what I was doing. I took every precaution, but Severe-Haircut woman had told me that she'd be watching me. She'd told me I was a marked man. I realized that I'd been waiting to get picked up and taken back to jail. Why not? Why should Darryl be in jail and not me? What did I have going for me? I hadn't even had the guts to tell my parents—or his—what had really happened to us.
What do you think the answer is?
frustration maybe?
Correct! :)
But just in case, I'd say worry and frustration. It seems like the person doesn't want Daryll to me in jail.
Ok, thank you!
Also, is mood what the reader feels or how the character feels?
