I tiptoed into the bedroom a few minutes later and found Alexander awake, staring at the ceiling. He was still wearing the clothes he’d thrown on when we’d gotten the call.

“I’m going to fail her,” he said when I climbed into bed next to him.

I placed a hand on his chest, not wanting to interrupt him but letting him know I was listening.

“She should be able to handle this. She should be a normal twenty-six-year-old. She should have gone to university. Maybe gotten married. None of those things happened, and I don’t know how to help her choose to be an adult.”

“What happened to her isn’t your fault,” I reminded him. Alexander may have kept the secret but he wasn’t at fault for the events that led to her coma.

“It was my friend who gave her the drugs.”

“And you were trying to get her home.”

“While I was drunk.” He turned on his side to face me. Reaching out, he brushed a finger down my cheek. “I’ve been laying here wondering what it would be like if I’d been the one in that coma. I never would have met you. I wouldn’t be King. I’d be a boy still.”

“Maybe I would have fallen in love with Sarah,” I teased, but the joke was as flat as the air between us. “What-if’s are only a gateway to madness.”

“Yes, but even though I know all of this—even though I understand—I’m still angry with her. I’ve had enough…” he trailed away. “Get some sleep. You must be exhausted, and we have the games this weekend.”

I kissed the back of his palm and snuggled into the pillow, but sleep evaded me. I knew what he was going to say: he had enough to worry about. I wouldn’t add to that stress by sharing Georgia’s opinion.

But now I knew I wasn’t alone in how I felt about Sarah’s return. It was the one thing none of us were saying.

I wished she’d never come back.
