I’m half asleep when he comes back. I blink sleepily into the pillow, but I don’t move to look at him.

His gait is awkward—not the smooth strides of a predator, but stumbling and half falling. He lands on the bed, and I can smell the shine on him, even from here. My nose wrinkles in distaste, and I burrow deeper into my pillow. Finn is still and silent for so long I think he’s passed out, and then he shifts to strip noisily out of his weapons belt and shirt. I heart the rasp of his zipper, and then he falls into bed with me. I lie there silently, and am drifting to sleep when he says, softly, “She was trying to fix him. That’s all she wanted. That’s all any of us wanted.”

What was it like, I wonder, to grow up with Sylvia Cragen for a mother and Keifer as your uncle?

His arm comes around me, drawing me into him. I force myself to stay limp and relaxed. He thinks I’m sleeping—he has to. He would never speak to me like this, so unguarded. It feels like a lie to let him. But I’m not going to stop him. He tucks me into his side, a warm hand heavy on my hip.

“Why can’t you trust me?” he mumbles.

I don’t answer, and he says nothing else. But it is a very long time before I fall asleep.
