The Adjudicator's Luna (The Watch Her Leave Series)

Epilogue The Beach

Epilogue:　The　Beach

Two months later.

The beach is warm and the water is loud and Nessa's phone is playing a video neither of us went looking for.

Gideon, exiled. Lilian, dead in her cell. Suicide, the report says.

I look at Cassian.

He arranges his face into an expression of complete innocence. "I didn't do anything. Her choice."

Sure.

I look back at the water. At my mother beside me, her feet in the sand. At the curve of my stomach, still small enough to hide if I wanted to.

Whatever happened in that city, in those rooms —it has nothing to do with me anymore.

Not even a little.
