Lindey nodded, letting go of my hand. "I'll call and check on him."
While she dialed, | offered a silent prayer, hoping everyone could finally find speace.
Her voice drifted through my thoughts. "... Wayne, don't lie to me. Is he really okay?... Alright, I'm coming back.
Tell him | was at Cloudscape Monastery, and | saw Rea."
She looked back atas she spoke. "She's... she's doing well. She's fine. Tell Jace that Rea has forgiven. our
family.... Yes, | understand..."
| lowered my head, feeling a wave of closure wash over me, finally letting go.
After Lindey left, | stayed, listening to Abbot Levinsky's chanting as dusk settled over the mountain. Only then
did | finally start down the path.
Lena pickedup, grinning as she held out a bunch of sunflowers. "Congrats on your fresh start."
She got it-she knew this trip had helpedlet go of all the anger and resentment I'd been carrying. I'd finally

| hugged her, and later, we headed over to Mr. Seth's pub for a drink. We didn't go crazy, but we stayed long

with the send in mind. Doesn't really matter if it's sooner or later, right?"
His words madethink of his late daughter. It seemed he'd found his own way to peace.
