The moment Jems and Emily walked through the hospital doors, the sound hit them first.

A woman's voice, sharp and broken, echoed down the corridor where she was pacing back and forth. Jems recognized her before she even saw her.

Sarah Reynolds.

Ethan's mother stood near the waiting area outside the surgical wing, her arms wrapped around herself, her whole frame shaking as she paced back and forth across the same six feet of tile floor, over and over, as if she just kept moving the waiting might

    The moment Jems and Emily walked through the hospital doors, the sound hit them first.A woman's voice, sharp and broken, echoed down the corridor where she was pacing back and forth. Jems recognized her before she even saw her.Sarah Reynolds.Ethan's mother stood near the waiting area outside the surgical wing, her arms wrapped around herself, her whole frame shaking as she paced back and forth across the same six feet of tile floor, over and over, as if she just kept moving the waiting might somehow end faster.The moment her eyes landed on Jems, her expression changed."You," Sarah said, her voice cracking through the quiet hallway. "So you're the reason my son is in this condition."Jems froze mid-step, her stomach dropping straight through the floor."What did I ever do to you, Jems?" Sarah's voice rose, tears streaming down her face even as fury twisted her features. "What did I ever do to deserve this? That you would want to take my son away from me?""I'm so sorry," Jems said

    Emily and Jems left the station together, Emily's arm wrapped tightly around her daughter's shoulders, guiding her toward the car without another glance back at the room where Mira sat, alone, waiting to give her full statement.Mira was kept in custody, placed in a small holding room down the hall from the interview rooms, the door left unlocked but a uniformed officer stationed just outside as a formality more than anything else. She sat with her knees pulled up to her chest, her arms wrapped around them, staring blankly at the wall.It was barely twenty minutes later when the door burst open."MIRA!"Her mother's voice cracked through the small room, and Mira's head snapped up just in time to see both her parents rushing toward her, her mother's face streaked with tears, her father right behind her, his expression a mixture of confusion and barely restrained panic."Mum," Mira started, but her mother had already crossed the room and pulled her into a fierce hug."What happened?" he

    Captain Miller crouched down slightly, bringing himself closer to Mira's level where she still knelt on the cold station floor, her face red and swollen from crying, the mark of Emily's slap still visible along her cheek."Mira," he said, his voice steady but firm. "I need you to listen to me carefully."She looked up at him, her breath still hitching, her hands trembling in her lap."Given everything you've just admitted to," Miller continued, "there's a very real possibility that you're going to be arrested. Not just questioned. Arrested. As an accomplice in a kidnapping case, potentially in an attempted murder case as well, given what happened at that mansion today."Mira's eyes went wide with panic. "What? No, no, you can't, I'm not an accomplice, I didn't,""You provided the location that led directly to Jems being taken," Miller said evenly. "Twice, in fact, counting the hotel incident. That makes you materially involved in this crime, whether you pulled a trigger yourself or no

    The moment Jems walked through the door of the station and into the small waiting area outside the interview rooms, Mira looked up and saw her.And she ran.She crossed the distance between them in seconds, throwing her arms around Jems and pulling her into a desperate, crushing hug. Jems hugged her back just as tightly, both of them sobbing instantly, the sound raw and overwhelming."You're okay," Mira cried into her shoulder. "Oh my God, you're actually okay, I've been so scared, I thought, I didn't know if I'd ever,"She pulled back just as suddenly, gripping Jems by both shoulders, her eyes scanning frantically over every visible inch of her, her face, her arms, the bruise blooming faintly along her jaw."Are you hurt?" Mira asked, her voice shaking. "Did they hurt you? Tell me everything, are you okay, are you really okay,""I'm okay," Jems said, her voice cracking. "I'm okay, but Ethan isn't."Mira froze."He was shot," Jems continued, tears spilling down her face freely now. "T

    The moment he saw Jems, he ran across the room and pulled her into a fierce, desperate hug, holding her like he was terrified she might vanish into thin air if he let go for even a second."I'm so sorry," he said, his voice breaking apart. "I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this, princess. I'm so sorry. If I could take it back, if I could take away every single thing that led to this, I would, I swear to you I would."Jems held onto him for a moment, still crying, too exhausted to sort through the complicated tangle of feelings she still had toward her father. Richard pressed a kiss to the top of her head, his own eyes wet with tears he made no effort to hide.When he finally pulled back, he turned to find Captain Miller standing near the doorway, intent on thanking him properly, on expressing some fraction of the gratitude clawing through his chest.But Miller shook his head before Richard could get a word out. "Don't thank me," he said simply. "Thank Derick. He's the one who

    Emily, Richard, and Nana all arrived at the hospital within minutes. Emily and Nana were the first through the sliding doors, their eyes scanning wildly across the waiting room, past strangers in various states of worry and boredom, until a nurse, noticing her frantic expression, gently pointed her toward a small private area near the emergency wing.And then she saw her.Jems was sitting on the edge of a hospital bed, wrapped in a thin, scratchy blanket that did nothing to hide how small she looked, her face pale and gaunt, dark circles carved deep beneath her eyes like bruises. Her hair was tangled and matted in places, and dried blood, not her own, Emily would later learn, but Ethan's, was still visible along the edge of one sleeve that the nurses hadn't yet gotten her to change out of. She looked thinner than Emily remembered, even though it had only been a day. Drained. Hollowed out. It was as if the past twenty-four hours had scooped something vital right out of her chest.But s

    Emily went to the hospital to see Jessica, leaving Jems at home. Jems had wanted to go with her, but Emily insisted on going alone."Mum, it might be dangerous," Jems said, holding onto Emily's arm tightly, her voice filled with worry. "What if she hurts you? What if she says you stole her husband?

    Jessica woke up the next morning and refused to open her eyes. She kept them closed tightly, praying desperately that it had all been a bad dream. Please, God. Please let it be a nightmare. Please.But when she finally opened her eyes, it was there: the letter, crumpled on the nightstand where she’

    FLASHBACK, 22 YEARS AGOThe basement apartment was dim and cramped. Water stains marked the low ceiling, and the single window near the top of the wall barely let in any light. The walls were cracked and peeling, and there was a damp smell that never quite went away, no matter how much Jessica clea

    "Jems, come on! What's taking you so long?" Emily shouted from downstairs."Coming, Mum!" Jems yelled as she opened the door of her room and ran down the stairs. She was wearing a white Chanel crop top paired with high-waisted light blue jeans and white Balenciaga sneakers. Her hair was pulled back
