   Summary

   “The attack at The Met… That wasn’t the first explosion it had survived.”

   “No?”

   “No, a gunpowder factory exploded nearby Fabritius’ studio, killing him and destroying nearly all of his paintings,” I took a breath, unsteady. “But The Goldfinch… The Goldfinch survived.”

   A hand on my shoulder. Long fingers, a firm squeeze, grounding me to earth. “You survived too, Potter.”

   I looked to him, eyes aching behind my glasses.

   “Life exploding around you. You survived. You, too, are Goldfinch.”
