“Yeah, go ahead and practice saying that,” I told her, making her laugh harder.

“Listen,” I said, grabbing her under the chin to lift her head. “It’ll happen.”
She sniffled as I wiped her face dry of the few tears that had escaped her attempts to fight them. “What makes you so sure?”
“Like you said.” I nodded. “It’s inevitable.”
Destruction always was.
