Hell’s bells. Katherine Deveraux is going to be the actual death of me.
“if it had been you I’d seen that day instead of Miss Duncan—dress torn, neck open, eyes dead—I wouldn’t be here right now. I never would’ve left Nicodemus. I would’ve just laid down in the middle of that snowstorm and waited to die. So, no, I didn’t think about you. Because that’s how I survived.”
Katherine’s presence has compromised my defenses and laid my heart bare, and now there’s nothing to do but deal with it best I can.
Gideon Carr has not yet taken everything from me. But if Katherine dies, he will have won.
