Five years Leah’s POV Five years. That’s how long it took to kill Leah Quinn and become Raven Vale. Five years of surgeries, speech lessons, sleepless nights, and therapy sessions that never worked. Five years of learning how to live again. And it was all thanks to Aiden who helped me. But that was a story for another day. The elevator dinged on the 34th floor and the door opened, Cassian's office. The secretary stood to greet me. “Good day ma'am , do you have an appointment?” I nodded. “ I am Raven Vale. His new partner. He scheduled a meeting with me by 10:am.” She pointed toward the door at the end of the hallway. “He’s expecting you.” I smiled as I walked towards his office. I knocked once, then twice. No answer. Then finally, a deep voice. “Come in.” I opened the door and stepped in. He looked up. Our eyes met. And for one fleeting second, I forgot the script.
