Going against every instinct, I unwind my
body from Tristan’s grasp, stand up, and walk away with the lantern
in tow, wishing I didn’t have to.

“I’ve got to get rid of this gun,” I say over
my shoulder, plucking the gun my mom gave me—
the gun I failed to
save my father with
—out from beneath my tunic.
