Matt went still beside me, and for a moment neither of us spoke, because there was nothing left to say that could change it.
“After everything…” he said finally, his voice cracking. “He just dies like this?”
I flinched at the word, because it sounded too harsh, too final, but I forced myself to hold onto the truth.
