“Bryce sobbed, "I bought you, and now I set you free, Lehabah."
Lehaba's smile didn't falter. "I know," she said. "I peeked in your drawer."
And despite the monster trying to break loose behind them, Bryce choked on a laugh before she begged, "You are a free person- you do not have to do this. You are free, Lehabah."
Yet Lehabah remained at the foot of the stairs. "Then let it be known that my first act of freedom was to help my friends.”

“Hunt." The entire world went quiet. "I was waiting for you."
"Bryce, sweetheart, just get back to your apartment and give me an hour and-"

She did. To Hunt, to his hand, to that softness in his eyes, she held on. With all she had.

Not this time. Not when he held her hand and her gaze and everything she was. Riding out the pain with her.
"Breathe," he ordered her. "You can do it. We can get through this."
Get through it- together. Get through this mess of a life together. Through this mess of a world.”
