We drove home in the late afternoon light, the city moving around us through the windows, neither of us speaking. At a red light, Von reached across and took my hand. I looked out the window at the ordinary Thursday life of the street people walking, a kid on a bicycle, a couple arguing cheerfully outside a coffee shop and thought about what the end of the story actually looked like, and whether you ever really knew you'd reached it until you were already standing on the other side.

Just before we got on the plane, I asked, "Are you upset that I'm taking you with me?" Parker shook his head and pressed his cheek against mine. "You're the only one I need." At that moment, my tears finally broke free. All the pain I had carried for so long melted into relief. I pulled out my phone and blocked Beatrice on every platform.

After what happened yesterday, a sense of unease had kept her on edge.

I beg and a dog runs into the road in front of her car unexpectedly. "Watch out!" I yell into the phone and she sways her car to avoid hitting the dog and end up losing control of the car. "Tay!

"You were so busy at that time. You kept saying you didn't have time when I called you back. Megan heard about it and came over without a second thought." Back when they were renovating the house, Maddison had asked Lawrence to come back, but he had been too busy with Julia's work to make the trip. By the time he did return, the house had been finished, and the road outside had been repaired. When he asked who had fixed the road, Maddison had just said a beautiful woman had done it.

Three years after my release from prison, I ran into my ex-wife in the presidential suite of the most exclusive hotel in Bayshore. It had been years since I last saw her. She was draped in a silk robe, radiating wealth. When she recognized me, something unreadable passed through Cecily Monroe's eyes. "On the day you got out, why didn't you wait for me to come pick you up?" I said nothing and handed over the takeout. Her gaze dropped to the scar on my wrist, and her breath caught. "I went too far with that. But you've always been tougher than Adrian. You can always get back on your feet."
