The officer alerts me I have five minutes left.
Hannah gathers her things, ensuring to pack the journal away safely. She stands, looking awful awkward, and I realize why. I turn to the officer, who nods. I offer him my hands and when he unlocks my cuffs, the invisible manacles holding me back break free as well.
“I haven’t done this in a very long time,” I confess, while Hannah gulps, unsure of what I mean.
When I open my arms, I give her the choice—but there never was a choice to be made.
She steps into my embrace and hugs me tight, transporting me back to better times. “I’ve missed ye. So much,” she whispers into my ear, her tears wetting my cheeks.
“I’ll make it right. I promise ya.”
As I hold onto her, my world finally comes back into focus, and I realize who I am. I don’t know what I’m walking into, whether Brody has taken over Belfast or if someone else has taken his place. I don’t know if Cian and Rory will ever forgive me. And I don’t know what this means for Babydoll and me.
But whatever faces me, no more hiding in the darkness, for I’m a Kelly. They all thought I was dead…but the real story has only just begun.
