Lila clearly remembered that day. Her hands had been trembling with fear.

Her mind had been a chaotic mess-so chaotic that she couldn't think of anything except getting to Kieran. She hadn't cared about the danger. If he was in trouble, then she'd rather face it together. Even if it meant dying, she would die by his

side.

Because her mind was so scattered, when she received Megan's call and heard her begging her to come, it felt more like an order. Her brain couldn't process anything, and all she could do was act on instinct.

"Did you ever think that if you didn't make it in time, you might never get to see Uncle Kieran again?" Amelia asked.

Lila nodded. "I did."

"Then why did you..." she started, but stopped herself. It didn't feel right to keep pushing.

Kieran withdrew his hand and quietly left.

Lila chuckled. "If Kieran didn't make it, I'd follow him. I'd go to him, and I'd see my parents too."
