Chapter Twenty-Two

Faith

Talia

My hands unconsciously fisted in the bedsheets as I wrestled with the bitter realization of just how cavalier I'd been about her mortality all this time. Looking at this fragile, luminous soul before me, how dare I have indulged such blinkered complacency? She deserved so much more than my abject failure as a guardian.

My words disintegrated into a muffled, keening sound as hot moisture pricked my eyes. But Ruby didn't pull away or offer empty consolations. She simply reached out and clasped my hands in her slender, calloused fingers, holding my fracturing composure together through simple human touch.
