"The truly tragic one here is Aaron," William said softly, yet his voice was brimming with strength.

Serena looked at William, surprised.

Serena smiled softly, a weight lifted off her shoulders. "Yes."

"Let's go. The car has been ready for a while. With Aaron gone, things will be much simpler for us."

Serena nodded, glancing at William's large hand but choosing not to take it. Instead, she wheeled herself forward. "Where's the car?"

William pulled back his hand with a smile. "In the parking lot downstairs."
