“I’m staying with you if you want to take a little more time here,” Shelby said quietly.
Vander heaved in a huge breath, like it was torn from inside the deepest part of himself. “No, we’ll all go. I’m finished here.”

“Actually I think it’s
finally
finished,” Vander said, and he bent over and laid the flask down gently on the ground. “Goodbye, Dad. See you on the other side—if there is one.”
He took Shelby’s hand, and together they walked out of the alley, only stopping to take Sadie along with them.
