“Is this about the investment?” “Yes.” “I thought you were excited.” “I was.” She frowned. “What changed?” I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I opened my laptop and pressed a few keys. The screen lit up. I started a video call. After two rings, Aisha appeared. She was already at home, wearing glasses with her hair tied back. “Good evening, boss.” “Evening.” Another screen opened. Priya smiled from her apartment. “I wasn’t expecting a meeting tonight.” “Neither was I.”

I also knew that she didn't make idle remarks, especially regarding people's lives. “Who’s the crazy old bat?” Aisha asked Colin, as if it were his fault. Aisha had the strongest personality among the four of us. She’s also the most eye-catching--at six-foot-one, with smooth chocolate skin and doll-like features, her dyed pink hair artfully braided down her back with dark-red flowers the same shade as her skin-tight dress, she embodied the title ‘top model’.

We’ve been pouring over them for days when I hear the rumblings that the soldiers are back. It’s another couple of hours before Aolis finally comes to find me. While I wanted to see him, I wasn’t sure of his reaction to seeing me after our last encounter, so I let him come to me. When he walks into the library, he stops, just looking at me. I see Emlyn’s and Cayd’s heads moving back and forth between us. “Welcome home, Aolis.” I say politely, staying in my seat. “Thank you, Lily.” He turns his attention to Emlyn and Cayd. “I understand that you are looking for a way to break the Guardian bond.”

I pressed my hand over my mouth and let the tears fall and thought about Soren's crooked smile and the way he used to laugh and the fact that somewhere in the years between that ridge and this room, my mind had chosen to seal him away rather than let me carry the full weight of what his death had cost. "After that," Aisha said, "I couldn't stay. Every face in that village reminded me of him. Every place we'd ever walked together. I packed what I had and left before dawn." She looked at her hands. "I told myself I was starting over. That I'd build something new and it wouldn't hurt anymore." She laughed once, dry and mirthless. "And then I got here and you were already here, and it was like —
