The prints’ already erased, but there’s something written at the back. ‘First date with Ly.’ There’s also a small booklet with flower petals glued on its pages. On the cover of the booklet, ‘From Him,’ was written. These look like flower petals from the bouquets he gave her. Inside the box is the locket Lyken gave her for her debut, as well as the charm bracelet. The one they promised to fill with their happy memories. She kept all these but now, she wanted them out of her condo. Out of her life. ‘Is she letting go?’

Bright It was already daylight, and I was still driving aimlessly, the sky a dull gray and a bone-deep exhaustion weighing on me. All night I’d wandered roads I barely recognized, my mind stuck on a single certainty that flooded and tore at my heart: I couldn’t go on like this. Every mile I left behind only deepened the feeling that something inside me was breaking under the weight of this mistrust.

"And I always will." I walked into my office at the shelter and closed the door. As rewarding as it has been to run this place, it's also so depressing sometimes. The women need so much help sometimes and they are so broken and it's just so hard emotionally. I wouldn't change it because I love that I get to help them but when we have a new girl here and she has been beaten to a bloody mess it just breaks something inside of you. That is what we had come in this morning. She had to wait until her boyfriend went to work to be able to leave, but he did a really bad number on her. We had to have our staff doctor come in and stitch her up and also put a splint on her arm.

The divorce from Sean went off without a hitch. Rowena got the boot and did not get a dime. After Bennett gave her a piece of his mind and everyone else gave her the cold shoulder, she had no choice but to crawl back to Sean. However, Sean was practically broke, barely getting by himself. Supporting her? Not a chance. Rowena's kick had left Sean with a bum leg that twisted as it healed. Due to that, he hobbled around, nearly as good as crippled.

The first visible sign of barrier destabilization appeared three weeks after the Continental Gathering. A warrior named Derek was on border patrol when reality simply split open in front of him. Not a Void tear. Not a portal. Just a crack, like glass breaking, showing multiple versions of the same forest overlaid on top of each other. "It lasted maybe ten seconds," Derek reported, his voice shaking. "I could see three different forests at once. One looked normal. One was dead, all the trees grey and twisted. And one was so bright it hurt to look at it."

Something broken, fragile. Something I had ruined.

“It’s also a book about what happened to him. What was constructed and deployed against him by people who found him threatening and found it convenient to remove him. What it cost. What it took to correct it.” I looked at Michael Adeyemi in the third row. He met my gaze steadily. “But it’s also and this is the part I didn’t expect when I began a book about what comes after. About the particular work of building something real from the ruins of something broken. About the people who helped with that work and the surprising directions from which help arrived.” I paused. “It’s a love story, which I also didn’t plan. But the truth of the last two years insisted on including itself.”

Zharn's mother smiled from the other side of the table next to her husband and first child. "Indeed." His father curtly replied. "Thank you." I gave my brightest rehearsed smile, hoping it looked as good as it did in my dresser's mirror. I sat down, placing my purse on my lap, and Zharn sat next to me. "Before I forget, I got you something." "You can't have anything I like except for your ginger hair." She replied coolly. "What about a book by Jamilla Coover, the final book of this Break Me series?" I raised up the black and purple popular mystery thriller novel.

She opened the book, took a deep breath, and read: > "Healing isn't always linear. It's a loop. It's backslides. It's breakdowns in grocery store aisles. But if you hold on long enough, you begin to see that blooming isn't about perfection. It's about breaking open in places that let the light in." She paused, tears welling up in her eyes, before continuing: > "This book is for the girl I used to be. For all women still clawing their way out of silence. And for the boy who never asked for any of it but gave me a reason to keep waking up. James—this one's for you."
