For a while Bridget thought about nothing. Teya's question was unexpected. She'd spoken so little of Blackwater that she'd forgotten Marina came to make an alliance. Of course they knew where she was. I didn't. She'd spent most of her time there inside.

I worked a lot as a medic. They had a few patients who were in pretty rough shape. It took a lot of time. They'd been in even worse shape than she was at the time and knowing that had helped immeasurably. It was hard for her to imagine how much worse things would have been if she'd felt useless instead.

She never found out what happened to any of them in the end. Harka had woken up and then disappeared without a trace, just like his mate before him. The others had vanished as well, but she only minded because it left her wondering if what she'd done had been enough.

Pretty easy to forget they are there sometimes. She didn't want to go too deep into it, but she was a little thoughtful. Maybe she'd have been a little better off if she had paused, just for a bit, to appreciate the sky.
