Light (Gone, #6)

And Caine. Yes, above all, Caine. All their battles, hers and Caine’s, all their rages? All of it to end in death so this evil creature could walk out to trouble the wider world? She remembered the touch of Caine’s skin on hers. Who would have guessed that egomaniacal, power-mad Caine would have such a gentle kiss? Yeah, and that worked out so well. Pregnant with a mutant child who was sacrificed at the moment of her birth to the needs of the gaiaphage. It wasn’t like Caine could ever walk free from the FAYZ, Diana knew that. He was a criminal ten times over, a rotten, charming, worthless sociopath, and they would lock him up. And she would visit him and make fun of him behind the security glass at the prison. And then she would wait for him. Years, if necessary. All her years, if necessary. You make bad choices, Diana, she told herself. So: one more won’t be a shock.
