The night air felt chilly, and Aurora shivered in the cold. Theodore took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

"The police said that he died two weeks ago," Theodore said. "You were the last person he saw before he died."

Aurora's eyes were still red, her face etched with fatigue.

"I have no idea. He did look for me then, and even beat me up. You know that, too. He offended way too many people, and all of them want him dead. He asked me for money the day he looked for me because he truly was at his wits' end."
