Blair sat in the passenger seat of Roman’s car, staring out at the city lights as they drove back. Her throat was raw from giving her statement, and she felt emotionally drained in a way she hadn’t expected. They had told Roman’s family that she was ok but they had been kept away from the funeral for safety reasons.

It was over. They had let their friends and work colleagues know she wasn’t dead. Even the media had been informed that due to a mixup, Blair had been declared dead.

“I need to face this. All of it.” Blair looked at him seriously. “But first, there’s something else I need to deal with.”

“Laura?”

“Laura.” Blair pulled out her phone and scrolled through her contacts. “I think it’s time she heard from the dead.”

She hit call and put the phone on speaker. Laura answered on the second ring.
