Between
“Dante’s from Hell and Finn's an angel, right? I was never religious, but the ideas came from somewhere. Good conquers evil? This means Finn can help? Finn knows what's happening, he has to.
Rose's handbag rests on the table by the front door where I placed it after the party. I pull out her phone and search for Finn's name. Tempted to read through their messages, I stop myself. Rose was scared of him; why would there be anything between them?
The phone rings once before Finn answers. "Rose?" "Alek." Silence.
"I said I couldn't help," he says, voice flat.
"Heard of Dante?" I put in before he has a chance to end the call.
"Of course." "You don't sound so worried." "If I do what I need, he won't come back." "What's that?" "Leave me alone." He hangs up.
I stare at the phone in disgust. He caused some of this; he doesn't get to wash his hands of us.
