My harness cut into my chest.

Blood ran into one eye.

None of it mattered.

Wynn lay beneath me.

Too still.

“Wynn?”

No response.

My heart stopped.

I released my harness and caught myself against the wall before my weight crushed her.

“Wynn.”

I carefully steadied her head and touched two fingers to her throat.

Pulse.

Weak.

Steady.

Air rushed back into my lungs.

“Come on, sweetheart.”

I cupped her face without moving her neck.

Her eyes remained closed.

A thin line of blood ran from her hairline.

“Open your eyes.”

Nothing.

Fear ripped through me.

Not the controlled fear I could use.

This was wild.

Useless.

The kind that hollowed a man out from the inside.

“Wynn!”

Her eyelids fluttered.

A soft moan escaped her.

I nearly collapsed.
