   Summary

   Shaw looked past Root. “I was falling hard and I just wanted someone to be there for me, but no one was. I’m too tired to get back up.”

   She pulled back on the trigger and watched Root’s face morph into panic. Shaw closed her eyes just before the gun fired and felt hands grip tightly onto her shoulders. Her body was jerked around from the force of Root’s movement. She couldn’t hear anything. The feeling of Root’s hands faded away. Her mind raced with one word.
