Glass Houses: The Rise and Fall of Elena Vasquez. It feels strange, holding the story of the last year in my hands, bound and permanent, when so much of it felt like smoke and mirrors at the time. It’s called a bestseller now and award committees whisper my name. But all I can think about is how Marrin trembled on the stand, how Herbert sweated through his wire, how Elena smiled as if the walls were collapsing around someone else.

My little brother got himself a girlfriend. The moment the news reached them, the whole family lit up. My sister, Serena, clapped so hard her palms cracked. "Who is she? Which lucky girl caught our handsome Tyler's eye?" Mom's face glowed like the credit was hers. "Look who raised him. It was only a matter of time before some girl noticed."

They were ghosts, they were travelers, and they were the only two people in the world who understood the cost of the ground beneath them. And as the last of the golden light touched their backs, they stepped into the green, disappearing into the vast, breathing heart of the mountain, leaving the past to crumble into the dirt behind them. The story was over, but the life—the real, messy, beautiful life—was only just beginning.
