Cathryn’s voice rose, trembling with rage and grief. “Do you have any idea how harsh it is in those mountains? The mosquitoes were huge—I was covered in swollen welts. I stumbled again and again before I finally found Dr. Clarke. And every time I fell, I curled around that vial just to keep it safe. And then you—you wouldn’t even let me into the car in the middle of the storm!”

Her voice shattered. She crumpled under the weight of it, crying.

Andrew’s eyes burned, shame flooding him. He gathered her into his arms, holding her as if he could keep her from falling apart. “Cathryn… I’m so sorry.”

Cathryn sank her teeth into Andrew’s neck, the sharp sting of skin giving way beneath her bite.
