“All you have to do is jump again!” she cries. “If you just get stronger, everything will be fine.” “So you die instead? I can’t. You know I can’t.” “If you refuse to jump,” she says, “I will make the choice for you.” My stomach is bottoming out. I already know exactly what she’s going to do. “No.” “I’m sorry,” she says. “But if you’d never met Nick, none of this would have happened.” I reach desperately for the only threat in my power. “If you do this, I’ll never forgive you.”
