  He took her hand, kissed it, then held it to take her to the roof.

  They’d already started seedlings in raised beds, domed now against the threat of frost. Benches scattered to provide a place to sit and look or grouped together for a place to talk. And beyond the high safety walls, the city glimmered.

  “We’ll do more plantings—flowers, not just veg,” Roarke explained. “And they’ll finish the little fountain soon. Some ornamental trees, and some that will fruit. Herbs, of course. The students can work the gardens, help harvest, and the kitchens will use what they grow.”

  She wandered, imagined what it would be like. Those voices, the sunlight, the music of the fountain, the smell of fresh things.

  No, they wouldn’t mark the days as she had.

  She came back, looked at the memorial stones, already in place. All the young girls, she thought, all the doomed young girls she’d found, named here, remembered here. Even the one she hadn’t been able to identify and had named Angel.

  “You’re right, about the peace.” Now she took his hand, drew him down on a bench with her. “It’s a good place, Roarke. It’s a good chance. Whatever they’ve come from, they’ll have a good chance here.”

  She tipped her head to his shoulder. “It’s a good place. Let’s just sit here awhile.”

  He slipped his arm around her, drew her closer so they sat with the city lights glimmering, and the future potential all around.

  The sadness lifted.
