LukeI’ve read her handwritten note every night since I received it. Paul and Row tried to hide it from me for a while, something so secretive about their intentions to keep me from having this letter that Aurora wrote for me, knowing our last interaction together would be us running from the Apogee pack, from Xander, and me making sure she would get away.I should be satisfied knowing we are both alive, but I’m not.
