“Asterion.” She squeezes me. “He didn’t shoot me. I shot him.” Her voice is wrong, distant and almost peaceful. She’s going into shock. My woman has never hurt a fly, and she just shot her father. “Dad?” Icarus’s voice breaks. “Dad, talk to me.” “Let me up,” Ariadne murmurs. She’s still too calm. It’s freaking me out. “Asterion, move. Please.”
