The River She Became (River & Salt #1)

Epilogue

Dear Yaseema,

I keep remembering your face when the door closed, and I wish I could kiss away your tears. When I’m not thinking of that, I imagine you destroying the wall and freeing your people.

You promised you would search for a way to lift the barrier on the Mountain. But I don’t want you to do that.

I want you to live.

I love you too much for you not to live.
