LOGINWe’re officially at the point where we start tying up all those loose ends! And please, if I’ve forgotten about something, REMIND ME. 😂 Because when you’ve been writing a book for this damn long, there’s bound to be a few things that have somehow escaped my brain along the way. 😭 So if there’s a character, plot point, mystery, unanswered question, or anything else you’re sitting there thinking, “Umm… JD, what about THIS?” TELL ME. 😂 We’re cleaning up the mess before we reach the end, and I don’t want to leave anything behind! ❤️

I reached up carefully, my fingertips found the tender skin near my temple. I winced, “Fuck.” The word came out quietly. I dropped the towel onto the counter and started pulling off the clothes I'd been wearing. My pants were stiff with dirt and blood. When I peeled them away, the fabric dragged
Vincenzo leaned back, “And the facility, Gianna?” I looked at him, “Closed permanently.” “Destroyed?” “No.” The answer caught his attention. His head tilted slightly. “Why?” “Because destroying it would destroy evidence we may need. It would also erase what happened to the thousands of children
Waiting. For heartbreak. For regret. For grief. Nothing came. Only relief. And for the first time since his name had appeared on my screen... I smiled. ──━⊰ 𓆙 ⊱━── The office floor hummed around me. Monitors glowed from every direction. Lines of code scrolled endlessly across screens. Pho

Gianna ━⊰ ❦ ⊱━ "We’re moving in with Salvatore," Mom said. She said it while pouring juice, like she was just talking about the weather. I froze, my fork hovering halfway to my mouth. I didn't say anything at first, I just stared at her, the heat rising in my face until my skin felt tight. "No,
