Chapter 261

- I hadn’t slept. Not really. I’d lain there, sure, arms wrapped around Beth, our bodies tangled in sweat-soaked sheets and bloodstained memories. I’d listened to her breathe. Felt every twitch of her fingers against my ribs. Watched the sun paint the shape of her along the bedroom walls as if it could somehow claim her, too.
