They were the scholars. They went to college together, a brief, shared dream of normalcy where she’d even befriended Jess, sensing the good in her despite the unspoken tension that hummed between her and Sam.

He was the empathetic, morally-driven anchor, and she was his echo.She was his proof that a hunter could have more, could be more.
