The Arche swept forward—glacial eyes upon her, her name falling from his lips in a fair warmer greeting than she felt she deserved. Flushed, she could not look to him, and when Tamar came to settle so quietly next to her husband, there was a light tremble in the healer’s limbs—feeling heavy, light and yet numb all in one breath.
It felt impossible.
“I can’t—“ She paused, even annoyed at how words felt so inadequate in this moment. “I could never live with myself if something happened to Zosime, Antigone or Zulema because of me.” And she steeled herself then—this foolish mistake she had made and had to come to terms with—her eyes now looking between the two. “Or you. Or anyone here. I want to make it right. I need to make it right.”
Meadow, after all, was a healer. A fixer. She had to fix this.
