Chapter 737

• Malachi had lived a full and happy life. He had loved two women with everything in him. He had raised his son and he’d been a proud father. He had two grandchildren, both of them finding their place in this world. He’d had a hand in Tala’s upbringing, and she was fearless like her father and beautiful like her mother.
• I wondered what would happen to Jessica, all alone in that big house with her dog, the dog that slept on Malachi’s side of the bed now. There were so many things I wanted to ask Malachi, so many things I knew he still wanted to say to us.
• I could hear the words in my head, almost like he was right there. He wanted to tell Kiran what an amazing father he was, how he was so much like Karani. He wanted to tell him that he was braver and stronger than Malachi had ever been. He wanted to tell Adara how much he loved her for sticking by Kiran’s side and enduring all the madness of being a Sinclair.
