I glanced over at her "Because he thinks you're on your own because Michael flubbed it and because this is his final play" No, she insisted and her head shaking "It doesn't feel like an end.

Melissa collapsed onto the couch and her fatigue carved into every line of her body. I locked the doors, engaged the system and checked each room twice.

The door remained slightly open, and for the first time in years, I fell asleep without fear, without nightmares, without waiting for disaster—just the steady sound of the engines, the warmth of the afternoon sun spilling through the windows, and the certainty that Alex was only a few steps away. Safe. I was safe. The realization followed me into sleep, and it was the last thing I felt before darkness finally claimed me.

"You just have not realized it yet." Torres appeared with keys and instructions. We loaded into separate vehicles for the drive to the permanent safe house. Maxwell rode with Amelia and Lily. I rode alone with my thoughts and feelings I could not act on. The city lights blurred past the window. I thought about seven year old wisdom. About secret love. About complicated situations with no clear solutions. The safe house was in a gated community outside the city. Large. Comfortable. Secure. Four bedrooms. Living spaces. A yard where Lily could play.

She has people watching the facility, making sure your mom is safe." He takes my hand. "I know it's hard. I know you want to fight back. But sometimes the smartest move is to vanish."

"Where are we?" she asked, her voice still shaking slightly. Blaze gestured to the small, cozy cabin surrounding them. "This is a safe house," he explained. "A place where no one can find us.

I had survived an early apocalypse, escaped an ambush, and discovered that my system wanted one of my new companions dead.
