    “I let her go.”

    Vi turns once more, as Caitlyn’s admission cuts like a blade across her chest. She stares. The cell door opens with a creak.

    The woman before her has eyes like the sky, crisp and clean in a way she used to think she’d never see again, trapped forty stories down in the dark. “I fear we don’t have much time.

Lonely months stretch between them like hands, grasping and grasping.

    “Vi,” Caitlyn says. “We need to talk.”
