Chapter 238

After Kate left, I found myself perched in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of my apartment, watching the hustle and bustle of the city below. Time dragged on, and when Richard didn't show, I double-locked both the apartment and my room. Growing up in the Haven of Hope Orphanage, I remember Hannah setting up unnamed plaques.
