Sebastian's POV "Closer than we think," I say it out loud because the words need somewhere to go. Aurora is still holding my hand. I should let go; I do not. Nadia is standing near the door, arms crossed, watching both of us like she is trying to decide if she belongs in this room or not. She does. She just does not know it yet. "Who is left?" Aurora asks. I run through the list in my head. Lucas — gone. Catherine just walked out. Vincent — we already know. Damien — exposed. Megan — complicated but present. Victoria — dangerous but visible. "Someone we haven't looked at properly," I say. Aurora frowns. "We've looked at everyone." "No." I finally let go of her hand. "We've looked at everyone who moved tonight. But someone has been still. Someone has been watching without acting."
