You’re free now. Free to go home and forget. Free to walk around in public again without hiding your face. Free to move on from all of this.
Move on from me.
I lean down and rest my forehead against hers. I don’t have to worry about waking her. She’s so sedated she won’t wake up for several hours, but I shouldn’t wait that long. There’s just one thing I have to do first. Something I swore I’d never do to her again.
“Goodbye, Dani.” I kiss her soft lips. “I love you.”
I reach into my pocket to feel for the flash drive as I step outside into the hallway.
“Not coming back again, I hope.”
Bennett stands near the door with his arms crossed. I don’t blame him for the hostility. He watched me shoot his daughter. He also watched Mrs. Clark and I save her life afterward, but this is Bennett Roberts.
“Probably not,” I say.
“Good riddance,” he mutters, passing around me to enter Dani’s room.
“Bennett.”
He pauses in the doorway as I hold out my hand. He stares at it for several moments before giving me a silent handshake.
I turn around and enter the next hallway where two police officers are waiting for me.
Goodbye, Dani.
