MINE IN EVERY LIFETIME
Chapter Sixty Four — File Eight Hundred And Forty Seven
The room stayed very still.
Mara looked at Edmund.
At his hands flat on the table.
At the file between them.
At the file number printed at the top.
Eight hundred and forty seven.
She looked at Corvin in the doorway.
Corvin had not moved.
She looked back at Edmund.
"Which one of us," she said again.
Edmund held her gaze.
He did not look away.
"You," he said quietly.
The room did not change.
The light was the same.
The table was the same.
The file was the same.
But something shifted underneath everything.
The way foundations shift.
Quiet.
Underneath.
Mara sat very still.
She looked at the file.
At the classification at the top.
Irregular Bond.
Sealed by Council Order.
Parties: Redacted.
