Quinn caught my eye and smiled. We both knew this wasn’t the end, but a new beginning, for us, and the fight for freedom. “Let’s go home.” Quinn reached down, helped me to my feet, and lifted his sagging corpse into his arms. “We’ve got a lot of sewing to do.”
I nodded, took his hand, and together we headed out into the moonlit night.
