ROSELINE'S POVThe venue Mara had chosen for the launch felt intimate despite its elegance, a converted gallery space with soft lighting and tasteful arrangements of white flowers scattered carefully throughout the room. Florian's hand rested gently at the small of my back as we moved through the gathering crowd, my stomach now full and round beneath my dress, drawing occasional warm glances from other guests."This is beautiful," I said softly, studying the space carefully, Mara's careful, thoughtful touch evident in every small detail."It really is," Florian agreed, his own gaze moving steadily across the room.We made our way slowly through the gathering guests, introducing ourselves carefully to the small groups scattered throughout the space. Many, we quickly learned, were families connected personally to the foundation's mission, people who had lost loved ones to violence, who understood intimately the kind of grief and complicated healing Mara hoped to support through her new

FLORIAN'S POVI still checked the locks every night before bed, a habit I'd developed months earlier that I hadn't quite managed to let go of completely, even now, weeks after Reyes had confirmed Webb's network was effectively dismantled.
