Eyes trail over his face, finding a sincerity on his features that makes her chest ache. She was home now, a survivor. Shauna wonders what good survival was when she still felt like an open wound. (When she knew deep down she always would.) It all came with such a high cost, with loss after loss.
And she felt it every day, the guilt and shame, a regret that lingered. In some ways, Jeff was a reminder. In other ways, a reprieve. But in any case, in spite of herself, she did care about him. She smiles, a soft but slightly sad expression. "I promise," she says quietly. "I won't go anywhere."
