Summary
Her friends are safe. The monster is defeated.
So why can’t she breathe?
She thinks of all the time she’s spent waiting outside hospitals doors for news about victims that were never going to make it. She thinks - her mind spinning - that there’s not a single street in this city that hasn’t been painted with blood, that isn’t haunted by ghosts.
The brightest lights and the darkest alleys all tied together by death, and she has seen so much of it.
How much more horror can this city hold? The yawning chasm that has cracked open a blinding ache in her chest tells her the answer: more than she can take.

Summary
“He loves you, you know.”
He watches her closely, gauging her reaction. All she does is blink once, and then a small smile spreads on her face. “Yeah, Reed.” She lifts one shoulder in an elegant shrug. “I know he does. He’s my best friend.”

She doesn’t get it.
Reed presses forward, despite his nerves. “No. He’s… he’s in love with you.”
