Until the moment he died, Adrian Hawthorne was still demanding to know where my sister was.
In a rare show of kindness, I let him lean closer.
“She’s still alive,” I whispered. “She’s…”
A satisfied little laugh escaped me, and then I took my last breath.
My consciousness drifted in the air above my body as I watched him fly into a rage.

I watched him bury me on the outskirts of Boston. I watched him spend more than a decade searching for my sister, day after relentless day.
Just before he died, he came to my grave one last time to taunt me.
“You crashed into my life, stole the place that should have belonged to your sister, and got her killed in that fire.
“And you still wouldn’t tell me where she was buried…
“If there’s a next life, stay the hell away from me.”
But when my life began again, and Adrian seized my wrist to threaten me, warning me not to marry him, all I felt was a strange sense of amusement.
