Chapter 24: What's Left Behind
Justin is dragged away.
Broken.
Alive.
But not whole.
Not hers.
Never hers again.
Tristana reaches for him weakly.
"Justin—"
But he doesn't look back.
He can't.
Because looking at her now only brings pain.
Only reminds him of what was ripped away.
What she took from him.
Even if it wasn't her choice.
