Chapter 478

He looked down at the dark hair of the woman and wanted to reach out and touch it, do something, offer her a silent apology for failing her years before. He couldn’t believe she was still here in this house. They never stayed here long.
• “Okay, here we go. Just hope it’s not reinforced on the other side.” Bear’s voice was low and focused.
