She must’ve been in the parking lot of Zach’s care home for an hour, but she still couldn’t face heading back to her empty apartment with his things waiting for her to sift through. He was gone. Benning had been like a rock, though his pain was plain to see. How she’d condemned him all these years over a lie she’d clung to like a beacon of light and justice. Now it seemed more like a weight dragging her through six years of misery. Every time she thought her tears had run out, they rose again to blur her vision. She cradled her phone, her fingers itching to dial Ian’s number. He was probably asleep, no matter what he’d said. The sun was hard for a vampire to fight, but that wasn’t really why she hesitated to call. She’d begun to rely on him too much. He was in her life in a transient capacity. Eventually, the investigation would close, and she’d go back to her day shift and never see him again. Just because she’d learned the truth about Zach didn’t mean she’d changed her mind about the way Ian enforced justice.
