Chapter 65

• LYDIA
• The day after Elliot sacrificed his totem to see my mother for my sake, I found peace. For the first time in ages, I finally found it in me to leave this place. It had always been a youthful dream of mine to travel around the world and now that the weight of my mother's murder was off my chest, I found it possible to finally do good on that dream. So I made it known to Elliot during breakfast. Elliot made bacon and eggs. The smell of simmering fat crammed the air. As Elliot passed my plate towards me, I cleared my throat to speak.
• "I have to go and see Vitale today."
