Verum (2015)
“Finn tells me quickly, his gaze connected with mine, and with lips that are supposed to be dead. He sees my panic, he sees my terror. Because he knows me best.
Quickly, he crosses the room and kneels beside me, his hands cold as he grabs mine and holds them.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
It can’t be him. But yet, as I stare down at Finn’s white fingers, and the pale freckle that splotches across his middle knuckle, I know it’s him. It has to be. I know that freckle..., I know those hands.
“Finn,” I manage to say, a whisper.
He nods. And he’s warm. Confused, I slide my hand against his chest, finding what I need to know. A heart beats against my hand, strong and true through this thin ribcage.
Ba-bump.
Ba-bump.
