After My Last Breath
“The cab driver was an old man named Finn Grey. He was dead at the scene. The two passengers… were a mother and her daughter.”
My blood runs cold.
“What were their names?”
He hesitates again, then says, “According to the wallet and the phone we found in the wreckage, one of the victims appears to be Elara Blackwood.”
For a second, I don’t understand what he means. The words sound distant, wrong, like they’re being spoken underwater. Then they sink in.
The room sways. My ears start to ring. The fairy lights overhead blur, turning into long streaks of gold, and the voices of our guests fade into a dull, meaningless noise. I can barely feel the floor beneath my shoes.
