2:00 a.m.

I haven’t been getting much sleep. I don’t know which is worse: wallowing in self-pity in my dreams or while I’m fully conscious and aware of the fact that my life is spiraling down the toilet.

It’s been another few days. My skin is healed over and scabbing, but I haven’t informed the guards that I’m ready to go yet. I’ve been dragging my feet. Not only do I want to apologize to Dimitri, but I also don’t have a course of action. He can throw me out, but where do I go? I have no job waiting for me, no home, and I’m still no closer to avenging my father than when I started.

At least I’ve finally managed to stop crying. That’s got to count for something, right?

I shuffle around the room in an effort to stretch my legs. Being cooped up in here is starting to drive me crazy. Maybe I should leave. Every second I spend here is another second Levitsky is out there wreaking havoc. He probably thinks I’m dead, and that’s honestly my only advantage. I have the element of surprise. Not only that, I also know how he operates. If I can get the drop on him, maybe he can tell me what really happened to my father before I put him out of his misery.

Besides, it’s not like I’m wanted here. The guards all hate me. Dahlia is still upset with my double-cross. And Dimitri has made himself perfectly clear where the front door is. My guilty conscience tells me to stay, to fix this. I just don’t know how. At this point, leaving is my only option. There won’t be any awkward goodbyes, nobody will miss me. Now’s as good a time as any to escape into the night.

There isn’t much to pack since I was brought straight here from the hospital. I’ve been provided a change of clothes, but that’s about it. No money, no ID. I’m sure if I asked, Dimitri would set me up. He said he would, after all, but I know better than anyone that I’ve already taken advantage of his good nature. I’ll just have to figure things out once I get to Moscow. I have some old friends I haven’t seen in ages. My babushka on my mother’s side lives in Leningrad, so she’s always an option, though we haven’t spoken in years…

I tell myself I’ll figure it out. Whatever happens, I’m sure I’ll land on my feet. No sense in delaying this any longer. I’m not wanted here. I’ve caused Dimitri more than enough pain. With a deep breath, I head toward the door and pull it open.

I stop mid-stride, startled to find Dimitri standing in the hall, his hand outstretched as though he were reaching for the doorknob. I stare at him, at a loss for words. He looks tired, but still as handsome as ever. His jaw is stubbled, there are dark circles beneath his eyes, and his hair is messy from sleep.
