Wings (A Black City Novel)
“NATALIE “WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE ASKED Ash to do it,” I say, warily eyeing the glass jar on the bedside table, like it’s a coiled snake. “It’s the worst thing anyone could do to him. It was cruel of us to even suggest it.” It was cruel of me.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Beetle sighs, scratching his scarred cheek. “I remember how Ash was before he met you. He was in a pretty dark place. If there’s even a small chance he won’t get his heartbeat back, I’m not sure I can do that to him.”

“We’ll think of something. I’m going to look for Ash.” I stand up and Beetle gets up too. “Can I talk to him alone first?” I suspect it’s going to require a lot of groveling on my part to get him to forgive me.
“Let him know I’m sorry, okay?”MoreLess
