The hallway outside the apartment was a mess. Police were going in and out. One was jotting things down near the stairs. Another stood by the door with a walkie-talkie, mumbling something into it. It all sounded like background noise.Kian touched her elbow.“Can we talk?” he asked softly.She glanced at Isaac, who was still speaking to an officer inside. Then she nodded.They stepped to the side, near the end of the corridor. It was quieter here, just the hum of distant voices and the sound of her breathing.Kian ran a hand through his hair. His whole posture looked like it was sinking into the floor.“I’m so sorry,” he started. “I mean it, Iz. You trusted the kids with me and I...”“Stop,” she said immediately, shaking her head. “Don’t do that.”“I wasn’t careful enough-”“It’s not your fault.”“I should’ve double locked the door or checked the cameras...”“No, Kian,” she cut in, voice trembling. “I’m sorry.”He blinked. “What?”“I shouldn’t have left them with you,” she said, eye
