The bag she was holding slips from her fingers and falls to the floor with a dull thud. Her gaze moves from me to Evan, then back to me. And in her eyes, I see something break. Something irreparable. — Oh my God, she whispers, and her voice is nothing but a horrified thread. What have you done? The silence that follows is heavier than anything I have ever known.
